The Gift of Life, Plus One

by James J. Hill

Agnes is a young, unconventional little girl, who wants to be exactly who she is. Her father, Jon, struggles with the balance of raising his children the way he sees fit, while still allowing them to grow into the people they are destined to become. When Agnes suddenly falls ill, her life and the lives of those around her are altered forever, in ways they never imagined. Both her father and mother, Amanda, are faced with challenges that will either break them, or save them. Jon finds that when he drifts off to sleep, his mind often travels to a unique place where he is mostly alone with his thoughts, while discovering that accepting life as it happens is not always easy, but important to moving on to the next season of life. "The Gift of Life, Plus One," provides the perspective that just because life doesn't necessarily go as we planned, it's exactly the way it was intended.
