Review: Jeanne Patricia Beggins shares her heart with us in this touching read, "A Book of James."
Giving birth to twins, this family is given the devastating news that little James's brain has not fully developed and his prognoses is not good. Taking his little sister home, the family begins a journey with James as they struggle to come to terms with a situation they cannot change.
The author shares her thoughts and those of others in a personal journal that was kept during this emotional time. She shares the joys they had with their son, a tiny smile or watching him sleep, and shows the importance of every single moment we have with someone we love. She also shares the heartbreak of his struggle to live, which became a losing battle.
I congratulate this family for their courage in sharing with others their personal tragedy and their road to recovery during such a traumatic time in their lives. I believe this work will help other families who are going through such a crisis, giving them a drink of cool water in a dry and thirsty land. One day they will surely see their James again; I am so glad they hold onto that promise.

Review: This book is a compilation of letters visitors wrote in a journal to James, infant son of Jeanne and James Beggins. James was a pallative care patient. Included also, are personal journal writings in which Jeanne wrote her feelings in dealing with the impending, devastating loss. Jeanne's hope is that other parents in similar situations will know there are people who care and that one day they will all be reunited with their "angels."
