Gino’s Mom

Description

Rachel Carver’s life went from the amazing of joy of childbirth to the depths of despair. The doctor’s inane attempt to use words that would hide from her the fact that her baby was dying had no meaning for her. The doctor finished his obtuse soliloquy by asking her if she had any questions. She had only one. From the moment he’d been born she had known in her heart that something was wrong. She didn’t know what, but she knew. Everyone had told her it was normal . Was it norma l for her baby to be nursing nonstop? Was it normal for her baby to be vomiting as much as he did? Her own mother kept reassuring her with that godforsaken, meaningless word. Normal . Her husband was useless. To him, she was just another hysterical woman who had given birth. She damned herself for not having the courage to take control; to push past everyone’s platitudes. And now her baby was dying? She took a deep breath, looked the doctor in the eye and asked her question. “When can I take my baby home? Based on the true story of a woman who gave her son a life the doctors said would be impossible, all the while struggling through an abusive marriage and forging a career that saw her battle through the glass ceiling and rise to the pinnacle of her profession, Gino’s Mom is the story of a woman who meets every obstacle that life gives her with a courage that she doesn’t realize she has. Gino’s Mom will make you cry; it will make you laugh; but most of all it will make you cheer. Gino’s Mom is a story of triumph. —- ISBN: 9798880226238
