This family lives joy in the midst of their strife. Inspiring!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book – so nice to read that there are still such good and selfless people in this world!
A deeply moving book about a woman and her family who reached out to children who had a very short time to live and who loved them deeply for the remainder of their lives. Truly inspiring.
True story….of one woman’s struggle and how she overcame it
It is definitely an inspirational book. It takes a very special and medically trained person to care for terminally ill children with so much love and devotion. What I take from this book is to be more generous and selfless and to look at the world from a more sensitive perspective.
When writing about the babies I enjoyed the book but I did feel that to much of it was re her health issie. Even with the understanding that it was discribing the whys and how she became a foster parent, it felt like to me over half was her health not about the children
Thought I wouldn’t be able to handle it, but it was awesome!
My breath caught as I read the book which showed the author loving those who are about to die. It so deeply moved me that she could do this. It has tremendous respect for all of life no matter how much time we are given by God.
Have great admiration for people who dedicate themselves to making the lives and deaths of foster children a little bit more comfortable.
The author shares her experiences with hospice infants and her own illness. She also shares her CHristian world veiw.
This is such a touching book. I had no idea people took care of babies on hospice. God Bless them all.
Amazing story of love and sacrifice.
It was not relaxing -too dramatic and an autobiography. I read to relax not get anxious
Best book I’ve read lately!
This is such a wonderful book written by an honest woman. Her life isnt easy, but through a serious relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ she has learned and done much.
