Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My teaser for this week:
"Finally, after five hours, the surgeon came to speak to us. We did not have to go into the "special room." Hanna had done well and I will never forget my first vision of her after her surgery. She made it! She looks great! Thank you, God!"
Page 27, Living with Rain Girl
This book is written by a Mother in the community I live in. It's about their struggles and joys with raising their autistic child. The quote I have above happened one week before Hannah (the little girl) had her second birthday.
It didn't take long to read the book :) Partially because I know the family (I'm Hannah's school bus driver), but mostly because it's an easy, though "teary" read. For those of as that are blessed with "normal" children - there is just no way to comprehend what it must be like to give birth to a child that has a heart defect, and is autistic.
If you know someone with a special needs child - this is a wonderful book. Hannah is such a sweetie - brightens every morning as she gets on the bus and is so happy to go to school :)
What are you reading this week?
My oldest daughter has had 2 heart surgeries. I am sure I would cry all thru the book!

Good friend's second child born with a very serious heart condition -- and she got married last year! She's doing great. (What's funny is our philanthropy for our college sorority was ... heart disease. We didn't know then how important it would end up being!)
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from a work of Christian fiction by Cheryl Dellasega, "The Testing of Devotion." It's first in the "Heavenly Host" series. Sophia, Senior Servant of the Heavenly Host, is leading the effort to thwart Lucifer's plan and help both mortals and angels resist his temptations. It's a fascinating look at angels and heaven and life after death.
[[Just like mortals, we always have a choice, Sophia. He and his followers have made a bad choice, which makes our job more important than ever. I suspect Lucifer will target both mortals and angels now. Believing that the Almighty Divine is just that—all powerful and supremely good—will help us win this battle.”
