Life seemed close to perfect approaching the summer of 2005. Every parent's nightmare began for us one evening when Zack came home earlier than expected. Of course, we never imagined that he would sneak out after midnight when he was certain we were asleep. Or that we would be awakened to the news that a car accident had placed him precariously on the edge of death. It shattered our idyllic world and changed the course of our lives.




In this profoundly moving book, readers will experience the emotional faith of a mother and witness the amazing recovery from traumatic brain injury. Faced with the daunting news that her son may never walk or talk again and forced to consider the rest of his life in a nursing home, she turned to the only person that had the power to restore him. Within the desolate walls of the ICU she cried out to God for healing and saw prayers answered in miraculous ways. God was in control and through the power of prayer they would discover his perfect plan was more than they could hope or imagine.




Looking back to that fateful day there has always been that one word. The word his doctor warned us with. The word God whispered to me in my desperation. That one word that stalked us - my son just needed to breathe. Walk the journey of a miracle with my son and my family and I dare you not to breathe.
