Dancing_in_HeavenToday we have a sneak peek from author Christine Grote’s memoir, Dancing in Heaven.

Annie’s parents thought she was a perfectly normal child with bright eyes and a ready smile until she was about nine months old and not sitting up. They soon found out that Annie had been born with profound brain damage, and probably wouldn’t live more than eight years. “Take her home and love her,” the doctors said.
