For the Love of Stephen is a poignant, unflinching, and at times satirical memoir about growing up with Stuart's brother Steve--a cherished soul born with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) at a time when families like theirs were encouraged to institutionalize, forget, and move on. With warmth, wit, and emotional clarity, Stuart explores the absurdities, tensions, and unexpected grace that marked their family's journey.
