Plot Summary of God Gave Us A Promise
"Many tears and many smiles are required to make it through this book about an infant son who is born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. You will laugh at the cute and cunning ways that Jeremiah got what he wanted. You will laugh at the times that Patience and Phil bounced off of each other, much like "who's on first." Their son's diagnosis changed their lives as the cruel realities of this devastating condition forced them to trust in love, God's faith, and the essence of human compassion to survive the difficult choices ahead."
Phillip Wolf, Resident Scholar
