Five Hours: How My Son's Brief Life Changed Everything

Description

After a full-term pregnancy fraught with morning sickness and preternatural experiences, Lucinda Weatherby's third child, Theo, was born with Trisomy 13, a chromosomal condition. He lived for five hours. The unexpected grace Lucinda encountered during Theo's brief life led her to reevaluate her spiritual skepticism and confront her fear of death. Five Hours is a brave and heartfelt memoir that can help guide other families experiencing similar losses, and is an essential read for anyone interested in witnessing the power of the human spirit.
