"Wait here, I want the doctor to see this." Everyone looks forward to the twenty-week ultrasound - to that first glimpse, grainy and shifting when the ultrasound tech says things you've been waiting so long to hear: "It's a boy," or, "See that, she's sucking her thumb." Nobody wants to hear, "Wait here, I want the doctor to see this." What happens when the road takes a sudden turn from "healthy pregnancy" to "devastating prenatal diagnosis" to "life as a special needs parent"? Christian author Jennifer Busick relates with unflinching honesty and deep affection the ups and downs of raising a disabled child-and the many ways in which God comes alongside special needs parents, lifting them up and carrying them through the storm. From the lowest moments, like walking out of a hospital room after several failed attempts to place an IV - "I just couldn't stand to be the person torturing my child any longer" - to the unexpected bright spots, like finding adaptive sports - "I knew that being on a basketball team where she could keep up with everyone else would be normalizing for Cora...what surprised me was how normalizing the experience is for parents" - this is an uplifting story of resilience in the face of adversity.

From the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia to the rolling hills of Ohio, "Cora of French Creek" chronicles the story of a young woman who lived a simple life like so many women of her era. Born and raised on the West Virginia land that has belonged to her family for over one-hundred years, Cora Perry loves the way the mist hangs on the mountains in the mornings. She savors waking to bird song every morning, and falling asleep each night to the sounds of hoot owls and whippoorwills. When the charming Hugh Cutright - a man who loves these mountains as much as she does - asks for her hand in marriage, Cora sees everything she has longed and prayed for coming true. Life, however, does not always unfold as we wish, and Cora's is no exception. But through triumph and tragedy, Cora passes on to her children the lesson that her parents instilled in her - that it is family that holds us together through good times and bad, stitching us together through the generations like the patches of a handmade quilt.
