Giving birth to a child is one of the greatest gifts a family can have, "the gift of life." A Miracle Named David is a book filled with tears and laughter, as this compassionate grandmother shares her heart and testimony concerning her special grandchildren. She shares the births, health problems and triumphs. This book celebrates the way her faith helped her to deal with the health challenges that beset the newborns. She informs the readers of the ins and outs of neonatal intensive care, better known as NICU. A Miracle Named David is a heart-warming true story of the unanticipated journey during the mother's pregnancy and premature delivery of her newborn. During the pregnancy she was given the odds that her baby had a one percent chance of survival and everything looked hopeless in the beginning, but the story did not end there. Dorothy also shares how NICU would be revisited in the next few years by three other grandbabies. Anyone reading this book will release doubt and know that miracles really do happen. The experience gives us a fresh awareness of God's presence and his healing power. It was through unity in prayer by family, friends and strangers that changed the circumstances in the lives of all four newborns. Miracles do happen and this book is truly the story of "A Miracle Named David."

The author was immersed in her career. She had prepared for years for this time in her life -- she was financially independent and moving step by step up the corporate ladder. That was the true definition of success ...or so she thought. Then it happened -- marriage. Then it happened -- pregnancy. Then it happened -- REDEFINITION! Susan Hughes explores well below the surface of the working mom vs. stay-at-home mom debate using her humorous though deeply honest recollection of the birth of her son and the challenges and joys that followed. She takes us on her journey from "manager" to "Mommy" that left her knowing, without a doubt, that motherhood is the most important and most powerful job there is. The undeniable truths presented within make a convincing argument that kids, not career, should be a mother's top priority.
