When her unwed medical student daughter discloses that she is pregnant, Dr. Laura Branson is torn between excitement and fear. Until now, her beliefs and stance on pro-life issues have been more theoretical than personal. When she receives a Christmas gift-a quilt that depicts the life of pioneer Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor in America-she is forced to wrestle with her convictions and examine everything she stands for in light of her faith. A book club guide is available at NewHopeDigital.com.
