"Liane went for it all--the husband, the children, the exciting career. Living in a supportive Hawaiian community, it seemed like she would have a dream life...until the hardships began. First, she faced the sudden loss of her cherished father. Devastated by grief, she could barely believe it when her mother then developed a disease that left her paralyzed, bedridden, and in need of constant care. Despite other painful setbacks, Liane took over the daunting task of caring for her mother as she struggled to survive financially and make sense of it all. At least her beautiful daughter, supportive husband, and--finally--excitement over their second healthy pregnancy gave her strength. A few months later, their much-anticipated son was born. Still recovering from childbirth, Liane was stunned by the news: her baby boy had cortical blindness, cerebral palsy, autism, and might never walk or talk. Most would be broken in the face of these odds. In an extraordinary story of finding hope where none seemed to exist, Liane chose not to give up. She did it to survive and show others the way. And not only did she survive, she thrived--becoming a successful entrepreneur and finding balance in what most would see as an overwhelming life. Her hope will help you find your strength. You'll love this remarkable journey because if Liane can overcome all that life threw at her, you can too"--Page [4] of cover.
