The book shows us all something deep within our hearts through the presentation of this community of amazing people. With the gift of an extra chromosome, they are in fact not be "disabled" but "abled", they ability to love without hierarchy, have a strong self-esteem and to impact everyone they touch with an uplift found too rarely in our world these days. We need to have new heros and reminders that we can overcome adversity and love without fear or restriction and to be reminded of our potential.

We have a new heros, they just may not have been in the form we all expected.
