Through the Eyes of Hope - book review

It has been quite awhile since I've reviewed a book on the blog.  Rest assured I'm still reading, but life with the Little Miss hasn't allowed much blog writing time.  However, I just reviewed a book with NetGalley that is so good and so relevant to us mamas of special needs that I wanted to be sure to bring it to your attention.

Through the Eyes of Hope is the true account of the challenges faced by the Buchanan family when their son, Christopher, was born with a rare medical condition.  As a mom who all too often must advocate (ok perhaps fight is a better word) for the best treatment for my own children,  I identified with this story so much.  The hurtful comments, the judgement, the feelings of inadequacy.  BUT, Lacey Buchanan also gives us the other side of that coin that we moms must eventually get to.  The position of confidence in our role for the well being of our beloved child.

It is a story of faith, but not the smooshy kind.  This faith bears up under the raw emotions, the exhaustion, and the daily grind that comes with living The Hard.  I believe you will find yourself crying with her and cheering on the victories.  You'll also fall head over heals in love with Christopher.  Read. It.

Pre-release review.  Book is released in January.
