Part heartfelt memoir, part practical guide, Damaged Angels recounts Bonnie Buxton's struggles to raise an adopted daughter whom she didn't realize was afflicted with fetal alcohol disorder. Her book also offers guidance to parents who have children with FASD. By the time Bonnie's daughter Colette hit first grade, her parents were coping with her frequent stealing and lying, and the necessity of special education. At fourteen, she discovered drugs and sex; by eighteen, she was a crack addict living on the streets. After many frustrating years consulting numerous therapists, a TV news story gave Bonnie the answer she was looking for -- and sent her on a quest for a diagnosis and help for Colette. Damaged Angels can aid and comfort all those affected by FASD -- the most common cause of intellectual impairments in most industrialized nations -- and reduce the number of babies born with this disorder in the future. The most important book on fetal alcohol disorder since Michael Dorris's The Broken Cord, Damaged Angels is a book for every parent, practitioner, and teacher working with a child with FASD.

Very thin. You get what you pay for.
Color: 01 - White, Size: Queen
You get what you pay for. I first noticed the softness which was great. The quality is very thin. They are cool which is great. I have not washed them yet. I would suggest washing them on cool and gentle by themselves. And because they are so thin I would fluff dry for an hour if you have that setting. The two things that damages clothes and sheets, etc. are if you have an agitator in your washer, those ruin clothes and the heat you choose for the fabric you’re drying I always wash my clothes on cold. I do not have an agitator anymore and on delicate and thin fabrics, I use fluff dry. It is cool, but it will dry, especially if it is thin and I’ve had to dry my fine delicates a little bit longer on fluff that way they don’t shrink because the shrinking comes in from the heat from the dryer so keep that in mind another good thing to remember if you got white sheets like I did is that when you use your detergent add a little bit of borax or laundry booster and they will help get them clean and sparkly white. I am on the fence about whether I would recommend this or not if you’re tight on money and you take good care of them I would recommend that you get them. I’m a linen freak and I buy mostly expensive sheets and I thought I would try this out so that’s where I’m at.

Soft, stretchy, and durable
Size: Queen, Color: Blush
These sheets are soft, thick, and durable. I can't stand microfiber sheets so I was so excited to find these. I keep two sets so that I can swap them out on laundry day. They have deep pockets that stay on the mattress and the top sheet is perfect alone during warmer weather. They don't pill and they wash and dry perfectly without any wrinkles. The color has held up as well. Super affordable for a great set of sheets. Very happy with this purchase.

Very soft and nice quality
These sheets are very soft and made of a nice quality material. They are deep pocket, but since we have a two inch topper on our mattress, it doesn’t fit/cover it as well as I’d like. For a normal mattress, without a topper, it would be fine. The elastic seems of good quality as well as the stitching. I do like the gray color as well. Very pretty color. If you are looking for cool sheets, these aren’t for you; however, these are very soft and cozy. We just don’t use as many blankets to cover up, and it seems to be fine. I would like to buy another set, but may wait to see how well the fitted sheet works. We’ve used them a couple weeks and so far, the fitted sheet is working okay.
