The notion that some might have it better than others, for no good reason, offends our sensibilities. Yet, until we talk about privilege, we’ll never fully understand it or find our way forward. Amy Julia Becker welcomes us into her life, from the charm of her privileged southern childhood to her adult experience in the Northeast, and the denials she has faced as the mother of a child with special needs. She tells us how a life behind a white picket fence can restrict even as it protects and how it can prevent us from loving our neighbors well.

So timely!

This was a beautiful, challenging yet gentle, timely look at what privilege means to the world, the nation, and those who consider themselves religious. The prose is exquisite and the narrative seamlessly wove together tough questions, life stories, and anecdotes about raising a child with special needs.
