ABOUT THE BOOK
THREE of a PERFECT PAIR
In Three of a Perfect Pair, Luke MacPherson draws a sharp line between his past work (fiction) and this book: writing about his real son, Teddy, leaves no room for metaphor or distance — it’s raw and personal.
He recalls learning that Teddy could be born with Down Syndrome, describing the fear, stress, and uncertainty that followed, with no manual to guide them. But out of that difficult period came an unexpected, fierce joy — not a joy that ignores hardship, but one born directly from it, from sleepless nights and hard medical conversations, anchored in the family’s love for each other.
MacPherson reflects that the experience taught him not just about Down Syndrome, but about presence, letting go of expectations, and what family truly means. He calls the book a memoir, a tribute, and a love story — describing Teddy as son, teacher, and mirror, and framing his extra chromosome not as a complication, but as something that completes their story. He offers the book with humility, hope, and love.
