Romy Wyllie’s book “Loving Andrew” shines at the Printers Row Lit Fest 2024

This narrative sheds light on lesser-known aspects of schizophrenia within the Down syndrome community and promotes understanding and empathy among readers from all walks of life.

Her account of the history and science behind the disorder is thoroughly researched yet highly readable, and she discusses impartially the potential implications of modern prenatal genetic testing… Beyond that goal, her book will be as engaging for casual readers as it is for caregivers and relatives of children and adults with Down syndrome. This clear-sighted, intelligent memoir is an invaluable resource for anyone whose life has been affected by a developmental disorder. Kirkus Reviews
