Greenfeld journals life with his brain-damaged son; his family must cope with Noah's transition to adulthood and the fact that he will mature in body only. Noah's inability to communicate and his tantrums and physical attacks persist day and night, while his parents also face the demands of careers, their own health problems, and the difficult adolescence of their other son. The stresses on the family mount, and the painful decision to institutionalize Noah becomes unavoidable. Greenfeld feels that "Noah has no future and neither has my love for him" but expresses that love by continuing to enjoy what he can and to fulfill his difficult responsibilities. This moving book about familial relations and special children will interest a general audience.

(Beginning where A Child Called Noah left off, A Place for...)
Beginning where A Child Called Noah left off, A Place for Noah - Josh Greenfeld's journal entries from 1971 to 1976 - conveys the anger, frustration, day-to-day drudgery, and intense love the Greenfeld family experiences during six years (ages five to eleven) in the life of Noah, the Greenfelds' severely brain-damaged son. Initial hope and denial have given way to simmering rage. As Noah grows older, the Greenfelds realize that eventually they will have to relinquish his care to others, but the horrors of bureaucratic mistreatment and the lack of any true understanding on the part of many the professionals they encounter leave them increasingly unwilling to have him institutionalized. They finally discover that, by default, they have become experts. The Greenfelds move to Pacific Palisades, California, to be near a school where Noah will receive the best treatment available, but they continue to search for a future solution - striving all the while to keep a place in their home and their hearts for their son. A continuation of A Child Called Noah conveys the anger, frustration, drudgery, and intense love the Greenfeld family experiences during the next six years.
