"Sometimes being a father isn't what it was meant to be...It's hard to describe the very moment when you first comprehend that something significant is wrong with your child-that they have a major illness or disability, or that they are going to die. In that moment, you realize there has not been a mistake, it is your child, and nothing can be done about it. It is only a second in time, but it needs so much longer to explain..."

Charles is the Principal of Carey Baptist College, a tertiary institution training people for pastoral leadership within the church and community.

We found out my son has a very rare genetic condition and I felt so lost as a mum. My heart was broken, my faith confused, but God showed his grace in my grief. I related alot to the testimony in this book. It made me not feel so alone, but understood and to accept the hurt but also to remember God's faithfulness and grace. This is a raw and wonderful book to read for anyone, but especially to parents who has a special needs child.
