A Mother Like Alex - Hardcover
When she was just 13 and helping her mother on the local hospital wards, Alex Bell encountered Billy, a young man with Down's syndrome who changed the course of her life. Alex grew up vowing to dedicate herself to caring for Down's syndrome babies. At 28 and unmarried, Alex battled with social services to adopt her first Down's child, Matthew - who eventually fulfilled his dream of working for Manchester United. Since then, Alex has single-handedly taken on eight more children who, despite serious disabilities, are flourishing under her fierce and devoted love.

About the Author:
Alex Bell is the adoptive mother of eight Downs Syndrome children whom she cares for at her home in Salford.
Review:
`In a market awash with true-life memoirs, it is refreshing to find a book that really feels different. As Alex tells each of [the childrens' ] stories, there are traumatic episodes, lots of humour and plenty of heartache - but more than anything, a genuine insight into the redemptive power of love.' The Bookseller
