Synopsis

Nearly three decades ago, Paula D'Arcy began to write letters to her unborn child--letters in which she chronicled her emotions, hopes and dreams. A few years later, Paula's daughter and husband were killed in a tragic automobile accident?and the diary to Sarah became a journal that today brings tremendous healing, peace, and comfort to those immersed in their own grief.
This new edition includes a foreword from Gerald Sittser, author of A Grace Disguised. As well, it updates the original edition with two new afterwords: one from the author, the second from the author's second daughter, whom Paula D'Arcy was carrying in her womb at the time of the accident that killed her first child and husband.

About this title

Review:

" Thank you, Paula, for sharing with us your human heart and your unmovable God." --Joni Eareckson Tada, author of "When God Weeps "" A moving simplicity, a natural eloquence mark these real letters of a young mother to her child--her child in her womb, her child in her arms, and her child dead. She is never sentimental but touchingly sincere in her joy and in her sadness--and both under God. An unforgettable book." --Sheldon Vanauken, author of "A Severe Mercy "" Paula D'Arcy has given totally of herself in the writing of this journal ...begun with such love and completed with such courage." --Joan Walsh Anglund, author of "A Friend Is Someone Who Likes You"
