When a routine scan during Sarah William's longed-for third pregnancy reveals a child unable to survive birth, she and her husband begin the painful journey of discovering the depths of a parent's love. Relating her experiences with honesty and candour, she draws us with her as she makes the excruciatingly difficult decision to bring her baby to term, helps her young daughters deal with their own sense of loss and bewilderment and finds mountains of support from family and friends.
The depth of God's involvement, the courage and patience of Sarah herself and the strength and compassion of her husband and family are breathtaking. The fresh discoveries of God's love for all and what it truly means to be human turn the ideas of our modern world upside-down. This is a wonderful book, one that I found hard to put down, yet which was at times so moving that it became almost too much to read. Its painful beauty will haunt your thoughts long after you have finished reading it.
