Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

'A true love story' - Mia Freedman>From Rachael: I want the book to be about the love of a parent to their child, the effect of genetics on Australia and how it will change the future, the life of a little girl who will ultimately alter Australia and save lives, the death of a child, how society deals with grief and the beauty that can come from tragedy; both in other people and within us.We are more than just a sad story.>I have so many people reaching out to me who feel connected to some part of our journey. Some feel attracted because they have a child with a condition, others because they have also lost a child. Some are just parents who use our story to help them push through the hard times of parenting and have more perspective. Some are because they feel connected to our IVF journey or have had to have a medical interruption like us and finally some simply want to be kind and witness our lives.

Whilst most would feel uncomfortable at the discussion of child loss or a sick child, I have found that in fact it is actually a conversation many people want to talk about. I have learnt that people are screaming to talk about their loss, for their pain or new life to be acknowledged and for guidance. Every week I have people write me emails, send me messages and even send me and Mackenzie gifts. This is a topic people care about and can't be hidden anymore.
