Summary:
"Terminal. Abort. Try again. In a cold ultrasound room, a physician speaks these words to a young wife and mother. Twenty weeks pregnant, Jessica shoulders them alone. Yet despite their unborn baby{u2019}s terminal diagnosis, Jessica and Jason make a brave choice. They ask God for healing . . . and they wait. Yet despite their unborn baby{u2019}s terminal diagnosis, Jessica and Jason make a brave choice. They ask God for healing . . . and they wait. But we don{u2019}t always get to choose what healing will look like. Or when our trials will end. Only a few short years later, Jason collapses in the backyard, and Jess, now a mother of three, is called to trust God through another unexpected crisis. Another terminal diagnosis. This time her husband's life hangs in the balance. In her poignant memoir, Sunlight Burning at Midnight, Jessica describes with raw honesty the tumultuous days that follow, as she clings stubbornly to God with the last ragged shreds of her faith. Her miraculous journey through love and loss, and then to love again, inspired a national audience during a featured appearance on NBC{u2019}s Today Show. It{u2019}s a story of hope, of healing redefined, and of a faith that rose from the ashes to become something as beautiful and unexpected as sunlight burning at midnight."--Back cover.
