When Wishes Change

Book excerpt: Three months into her pregnancy, Tricia Roos learns that her unborn daughter will die of a rare condition. Against the expert’s advice, however, she resolves to have her child. The ending is the same but the story changes everything. This is a mother’s version of scaling Mt. Everest, an account of the handles that grow out of sheer rock once we commit to a climb. This is an open-eyed look at blind trust, a lesson for all ages that hardship can end in hope. This is the story we never get tired of reading.
