My late Boy in the Moon blog

1. Is there any other place you would rather see Walker?

2. If you were at gunpoint and someone asked you to express your time as Walker’s father in one word, what would you say?

3. Your book is titled “Boy in the Moon: a father’s search for his disabled son”. What made you want to call it a search instead of a memoir?

Ian Brown’s impressions of L’Arche are completely honest and are good enough. His perfect society is where people with disabilities can live in a productive, supportive environment with a professional staff but also the feeling of being home. He describes L’Arche as, “the outline of the unthinkable community I was looking for”. (p.187) in Brown’s opinion, L’Arche is as close to a perfect community as anyone can get for Walker or anyone with disabilities.
