Instead, this memoir offers valuable lessons about the privilege of parenthood and the practice of medicine: the mysterious ways in which the body forms and grows, giving life; how we find the faith to live with our decisions, even if the consequences are beyond our control; and a family’s extraordinary capacity—when something goes wrong—to compensate and heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMore Than We Expected\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of finding strength in the most unexpected places.
