The Upside of Down: A Memoir by Susan Biggar

Susan Biggar fell in love with a New Zealander. Maybe as an American, she saw Darryl as a ticket to an exhilarating, global life. When her first son arrived, he came with fierce blue eyes, a curly toe and cystic fibrosis. The doctors said he would be lucky to reach the age of thirty.

A job offer in Paris snatched the family from New Zealand, depositing them in the city of lights, romance--and a whole new medical world. When Susan's second baby was also born with cystic fibrosis, the insignificant worries of her old life slipped away, shifting her from 'normal mum' to 'gotta-figure-out-how-to-keep-the-kids-alive-mum'.

This--and all that followed--was not what she expected.

Set across the globe--in California, New Zealand, France and Australia--The Upside of Down is a story of belief, of learning that sometimes joy is a decision.
