Candid account of a difficult subject. Birth disabilities affect 1 in 33 pregnancies, and Sarah Williams's personal, insightful account of her experience is a helpful and encouraging guide. More than just a memoir: besides being a mother, Sarah Williams is an Oxford-educated professor, with the knowledge and skills to go beyond retelling to explore the ethical and spiritual implications of her experience. Resonates with pro-life audiences. Williams makes no ideological proclamations, but the decision of her and her husband to carry their baby to term in spite of the difficulties will inspire anyone concerned with pro-life issues. Includes new afterword by the author.
