​The author's brother, Sam Tink, was born with Down Syndrome in 1971, a time when the condition was still referred to as "Mongolism" and parents were strongly encouraged to put their child in an institution. Sam's family welcomed him and accepted him for who he was. This memoir highlights Sam’s unique view of the world and the life lessons he taught his family. Now his family is sharing these rules they learned from him.
