Three Gorgeous Girls

As this story begins, who would have imagined the impact the arrival of the three gorgeous girls would have on these three apparently ordinary families?
Danny's family knew that she was going to be born with Down's syndrome, she but had no idea how much she was going to teach them and enrich their lives. Lauren's family took longer to realize that they needed to come to terms with their daughter's autism. And Alice's family, though not directly affected, found themselves in the thick of it, learning from and supporting their friends as they all grew up together.

Vicki Ponsford grew up in Cambridge, then took a degree in European Studies at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. She did a postgraduate teaching certificate at Goldsmiths College, London and started her teaching career in primary schools, but very soon found herself drawn to special education. She has lived in Gloucestershire for over forty years and taught in a special school there for over thirty years, for the last ten as deputy head teacher. Vicki has always sung in choirs and music continues to be an important part of her life.
