The TRuth about the Gift of Faith (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781649570994)

In this insightful and inspiring memoir, Kaye Colello brings to light an experience few parents go through. A disorder that few discuss due to its controversial nature. Colello and her husband's second child was to be a boy, but biologically and chromosomally, her son was really her daughter, their Faith. As parents, they then needed to make a myriad of difficult decisions to ensure the best life for their daughter, from surgery to future medications she will need for the rest of her life. Infused with reflection, honesty, and humor, Colello shares her journey so other parents may know they are not alone in this.
