About For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken (Unabridged)
In 1954, Steve Jones entered the world fragile and premature, quickly labeled “broken” by doctors and dismissed by society. But his parents refused the prevailing wisdom of the time. They chose to keep him home, to raise him with dignity, and to believe in his worth. For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken is the intimate, heartfelt memoir of a brother who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Stuart D. Jones traces Steve’s journey: his battles with exclusion, his breakthroughs in education, his humor and resilience, his friendships and love, and the tragedy that ended his life too soon. By turns satirical, humorous, and deeply moving, this book illuminates both the progress made and the injustices that remain in how we treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Above all, it is a tribute to Steve himself—a man who was never broken, who lived with joy and dignity, and who continues to inspire through the story left behind.
