In a society where love has been tainted and marriage destroyed
by the ways of this world, Thirteen Months is the depiction of the
ultimate love between a man and a woman, the way God intends it to
be. In the face of unspeakable tragedy, every aspect of one
couple's adventures, both past and present, has forged the bond
between them that will carry them into the center of God's plan. As
a physician finding himself in the heart-wrenching position of
being totally and utterly helpless to save the love of his life,
Don has no power to overcome this foe, save for his faith in God
and the power of prayer. A romantic and deeply touching story,
Thirteen Months seeks to inspire on every level. It reaches out not
only to those finding themselves fighting for their lives, but for
couples everywhere who desire more in their marriages and who need
to see the fullness of love and depth of romance God desires for
them.
To Mayim Bialik, Attachment Parenting's natural, child-led approach
not only felt right emotionally, it made sense intellectually and
instinctually. She found that when she followed her intuition and
relaxed into her role as a mother instead of following some rigid
parenting script, both she and her children thrived. Taking into
account her experience as a mother (and her scientific background),
Mayim presents the major tenets of Attachment Parenting.
