Amee’s Story touched my heart from the beginning. Only a mother could write so tenderly of the trials and miracles surrounding the birth of her fourth child. When a stroke at birth threatens the survival of tiny Amee, Carol, her husband and their family struggle to deal with each new revelation of damage and danger. The specialists didn’t expect Amee to live, let alone walk or talk, but through much prayer and skilled intervention, Amee not only survived but astonished her doctors.
The author’s experience as a teacher prepared her to help her daughter reach her full potential. Reading this book gave me an even greater appreciation for special education teachers who truly care as well as a deeper understanding of the life of these precious children.
Amee’s Story is a revelation of God’s goodness through trials and a testimony to the strength and determination of Amee and those who love her. It earns five stars. Recommended!
