One Tattered Angel is a remarkable story of the power of love to reach beyond physical limitations. This is a touching, true story about the angel Blaine and his wife Kathy adopted in 1988. Born with hydraencephaly -- only a brain stem and cerebrospinal fluid -- Charity changed the lives of their entire family. Blaine Yorgason describes the immense difficulties and even greater joys of raising Charity along with their six children. In a home filled with love and compassion, Charity outlived her doctors best predictions and progressed beyond belief.A miraculous story that has touched thousands of lives, the first edition of One Tattered Angel was written before Charity's death, and sold 115,000 copies in paperback. This second edition, with 50% new text, tells the rest of the story, just beyond her death.
