Even though he's only a child, Logan already knows too much--has seen too much. So when the opportunity presents itself, Logan runs. He has no idea where his journey will lead, or that the grandmother he's been told is dead is desperately searching for him. Alone with no home of his own, Logan looks for a safe place to hide. Relying on his instincts and the kindness of strangers, the boy manages to touch the lives of everyone he meets. But his innocent heart cannot survive in the adult world without the most basic human need of all: love.

Hope's diagnosis shook us to the core. We barely understood the doctor's words. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. How could our baby girl, still safe inside my womb, be alive with only half of a heart? In an instant, our lives became marked by uncertainty and fear. Doubt became our constant companion, with more questions at every turn. Would Hope survive past birth? What kind of life would she live? How can a good God allow the unbearable pain of watching a child struggle to survive?This story chronicles our family's journey with Hope, navigating the unpredictability of life with a critically ill child. Weeks in the hospital turn into months, surgeries are booked and delayed, and Hope continually baffles doctors with an impressive list of unexpected complications. With her survival consistently in doubt, the burden of her struggle becomes almost unbearable for those of us closest to her. Faith that was once taken for granted is stretched beyond measure. Can we still acknowledge the goodness of God and give Him glory when His plans bring us so much pain?Using excerpts from the family blog written during Hope's battle, this book provides insight into the raw, unfiltered emotions of those walking alongside Hope, from overwhelming joy to the depths of sorrow. Although the blog started as a way to update family on Hope's condition, it soon became a worldwide call to prayer, reaching people in over 100 different countries and attracting 1.7 million views. Through the blog, many people heard the good news of Jesus for the first time, bringing a beautiful purpose to Hope's pain. The influence of this one little life is undeniable - in God's hands, her story furthered the kingdom of God.
