Description: Blessed by a Saint by Gerald L. Bowen, Jr. is a compilation of short stories that, while fiction, are based on real events. These are stories of a family as they go through their everyday life caring for a precious child left severely multi-handicapped, both mentally and physically, after a traumatic birth. What could not be known or understood at the time is what a blessing the child they named Grace would be in their lives, and the lives of others. --Back cover.
Notes: Contains short biography of Saint Pope John Paul II.
