Yurkewicz chronicles her family’s journey through the many unknowns they faced when doctors confirmed their unborn son John Michael had Trisomy 18, a rare condition caused by an error in cell division. Subtitled A Story of Finding Hope in a Love that Knows No Bounds, she writes that even though her son lived for only two days, his impact on people’s lives was profound.

With a foreword by Fr. Larry Richards, the book offers a message of hope and healing to people facing adversity and seemingly hopeless circumstances. It also serves as an educational and inspirational resource for mothers facing adverse prenatal diagnosis.
