In His Own Time

“Thank you, heavenly Father, for giving our family a new little sister to love!” Happy laughter rippled up from Dawn’s heart. At seventeen, she relished the addition of the eighth child to her family, even if it meant added responsibilities as the oldest daughter.
Little does Dawn know what her family will face over the next several years, as baby Darla is admitted to the hospital again and again. Her medical condition baffles the doctors, and the family pleads with God for Darla’s healing – even her very life.
For months, while Father and Mother spend many hours a day at the hospital with Baby Darla, Dawn and her oldest brother Dwayne must carry on with the home business and care for the younger children. But they are not alone. God mercifully provides for their needs.
In the midst of these experiences of the the Shank family in the late 1980s.
