Replacement Child - a memoir
A plane crashes into a family’s home. A two-year-old girl is critically burned, and her sister is killed. The death leaves a hole in the family that threatens to tear it apart–but in a great act of hope, the parents give birth to a “replacement child,” born to heal the wounds of loss and provide a “salve for the burns.” Heartbreaking and unflinchingly honest, Replacement Child is a story of love and transformation that reveals a brave path to redemption and forgiveness.
