Opis

Written with the high energy and taut focus of an episodic drama and the humor and grace of a master storyteller, this is the riveting true story of a young mother transformed by faith. Heather Davis and her husband, Lon, are blessed. They have a strong and loving marriage, a terrific four-year-old son, and a gorgeous new baby daughter named Remy. But one day, without warning, something goes terribly wrong. A seizure sends Remy to the emergency room, and from that moment, life as Heather knows it will never be the same-it will be better. As agonizing days of uncertainty pass, Heather learns a number of powerful lessons. She comes to know the insight, grace, and compassion that strangers can offer; she discovers the depths of strength and courage within herself, her husband, and her son; and she learns what happens within us when we surrender and open ourselves to hope-and the very real and benevolent effect of faith and prayer. "This is remarkable. Though Heather Choate Davis tells a story of genuine fear and distress, she never loses her capacity for startling humor-most often at her own expense. She never sentimentalizes; she is always absolutely honest." Walt Wangerin, Jr., "The Book of God"
