It allows you to be real in a world that seems unreal and have hope when all seems hopeless. This book will be a companion to YOU when everyone else has gone HOME! It journals the lives of three children whose constant courage is respected by all - and sometimes even the illness that has threatened to destroy all they hold dear. The storms come often in their battle to live. They exemplify the ultimate sacrifice for life.
