Touching Story

Very nice, heartfelt account of a moment in time that few experience. The extrapolations provided are meaningful and worth reading. Thank you. It gave me something to ponder.

A Story of Death and Life

"An Angel Is Born" by Johanna Elisabeth Sather is a beautiful book you can read in one sitting. In fact, once its poignancy captures you, you may not want to put it down. Many happy books have sade endings. This is a sad book with a happy ending. Although it is a story of a child's death, it is far more a story of life.The story is true. It is the story of parents joyful at the birth of a son, only to quickly discover that the boy has a fatal defect. You the reader will know from the outset that before the book is over the child will die.What happens in the brief weeks between birth and death will touch your heart. This is a book about a child, about his parents, and about one of the hospital nurses responsible for the child's care. This nurse, over-powered by the baby's beauty as a child of God, broke the protective rule medical people are trained to keep. She became emotionally involved.The book's author is that nurse. In words of beauty and grace she tells the story of how one ever-so-brief life can change the world, if only a little.Johanna Elisabeth Sather is more than a caring registered nurse and accomplished author. She is also an artist. Her stylized illustrations grace every page.When you finish reading this book there may be tears in your eyes but your thought of life and death will have changed. This book deserves a place of honor in any bookstore. It should also be in every public library, hsopital gift shop, church bookshop, and family counselor's office.

An appreciative reader from Ohio

I sent my sister in Ohio, who lost a son years ago, this book as a gift. These are her comments.Dear Sue--An Angel is Born --was in the mail today so I sat down and read it all--I couldn't put it down. Of course, it isn't very long--but still I read it all because it captured me. What a beautiful book! I enjoyed especially her gentle, loving images...her honesty...her medical perspective. While I cannot say I hold the same view of Angels and the idea that we choose our parents and our life before we are born--I know many people do. But I believe that whether or not the reader holds Johanna's beliefs about Angels is really unimportant. Through a very touching example, she reaffirms the "hope" that in the experience of pain--even the most crushing pain-- we can not only survive, but grow...and that lives--no matter how short -- have a power and meaning and spiritual existence that continue for eternity --with those of us who have known and loved them...

"WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING STORY!"ÿ

I THINK I HAVE READ THIS BOOK ABOUT A THOUSAND TIMES SINCE I PICKED IT UP LAST WEEK, WHAT A TRULY WONDERFUL STORY. I WOULD RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY AND EVERYONE, I HAVE NOT SUFFERED THE LOSS OF A CHILD, THANK GOD, THOUGH, I STILL FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE AN INSPIRATION AND HEART WARMING, I KNOW I WILL BE GIVING IT AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO THOSE THAT I LOVE

A truly wonderful and inspiring book.

This was the most touching and thought provoking book that I have ever read with my children. It also helped them with the recent loss of a friend and I found it wonderfully reassuring for them. The story truly helped them to feel less fearful of death and actually made them smile (as it also did for me). It has been the source of many discussions for us and I would highly recommend this book to anyone - especially if you have suffered the loss of a loved one or need to prepare children for one. There were smiles behind my tears.
