::::::::::::::::::::::::::::SPOILER ALERT::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


John and Marsha Beck are expecting their second baby, a baby who has Down Syndrome. Marsha writes about her experiences, concerns and choices she makes before, during and after her pregnancy.
This book has left me with mixed feelings. I enjoyed the read. I found it to be very moving, touching and at times educational.
I also found myself questioning events, the time period of things and choices. I consider myself to be a very open minded person.
I don't question her experience with the angels and her ability have visions and feel the people she loves. The time period of all it happening in just 9 months just not feel truthful. It felt pushed and that fiction parts were added to it to make it more interesting and exciting.
I also question how she handled her pregnancy. If I had even half of this things happening to my body she did I would be in the emergency room or Doctors office to make sure my baby is ok and what I need to do to stop what is happening. Marsha's lack of common sense that deeply troubled me. She could have easily lost that beautiful, precious little one.

I did a little research on this book after I read it. The Author has come forward and confessed that is started off as a fiction book but changed her mind and made it nonfiction. This too left me with questions. Was she afraid no one would take it seriously about the super nature events? The fact all these happen in short amount of time? Is there fact and fictions mixed in the book and she was unsure of how to have it published?

I am not one to reread a lot of books but I will be reading this one. I feel I might have miss or misunderstood something.
