very touching and inspirational.
I have not experienced the loss of a baby, nor have I parented a special needs child. Yet, through Matt's writing, I get insight into the duality faced the parents: the mix of joy and pain.

I read A Story Unfinished: 99 Days with Eliot, in exchange for honest review from Beacon Hill Press. The story was written by Matt Mooney. I received a paperback version of the book. This book is also based from a Christian Perspective.
Mooney and his wife had a son, who lived only 99 days. I wanted to read the book because the description touched me deeply. I had two miscarriages before: The second miscarriage hurt me the most. I also thought about Kalen, when I read the book. Kalen has a global development delay and a heart condition.
The book starts out with a beautiful introduction. Mooney's wife, Ginny, finds out at 30 weeks, Eliot has a genetic disease and birth was not possible. The Mooney's knew if Eliot lived, his future was uncertain. This was a lot to take before Eliot was born.
The book was hard to read at times, but it was also a good read. Mooney discussed the fears of being a first time father, while being enrolled in law school at the same time. He discussed the challenges of being a husband, while moving from job to job, not to mention serving in ministry at church. One of the funniest passages was when Mooney discussed buying a 3-pack pregnancy test to ensure Ginny was really pregnant (pp. 17 to 18).
