Instead, this memoir offers valuable lessons about the privilege of parenthood and the practice of medicine: the mysterious ways in which the body forms and grows, giving life; how we find the faith to live with our decisions, even if the consequences are beyond our control; and a family's extraordinary capacity--when something goes wrong--to compensate and heal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eMore Than We Expected\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of finding strength in the most unexpected places. Our children have a special ability to reveal the goodness in the world--their eyes a window to a life full of wonder. Like them, this book is a vivid reminder of what it means to be human--a miraculous, inexplicable gift, however fleeting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James G.
