Most people live with “rose-colored glasses” until life knocks them on their rears, never truly understanding what some across the world experience on a daily basis, until it happens to them. I say this with confidence as I was one of those people. The Claire Chronicles is a Christian memoir of how strength can be found from literal heartbreak.In 2014, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl born with only half a heart and a genetic disorder, a devastating combination that left her with grim odds of survival. My daughter Claire is currently four years old. Although she is extremely medically complex, globally developmentally delayed, and severely autistic, she has survived and lives, for now, a happy, contented life that most do not understand.The Claire Chronicles is not a story of miraculous healing or an encounter in heaven. It is a unique and sad but hopeful and positive collection of stories from Claire’s first years of life written mostly from my point of view but includes input from her older sister and father as well. I provide a down to earth and sometimes humorous narrative that incorporates music and scripture to explain that without suffering one cannot find strength. I also explain how a deeper relationship with God was forged through such a dark time when I was told daily my child would die, a time when most expected me to curl up in the fetal position and give up. By surrendering who I was for whom God wanted me to be, I have been abundantly blessed. It is my hope to pass these blessings on to others through sharing our journey in this book.
