Wrinkles Welcome

At age 26, Gaby felt like her life was just beginning. Newly married, with a master's degree, and pregnant with her first child, she was on top of the world. But this joy was abruptly shattered when a routine blood test revealed a sinister truth: leukemia lurked within her.

Imagine facing the unthinkable: a cancer diagnosis while harboring a miracle within you. This is Gaby's story of survival, hope, and family. But her journey was far from over. The challenges of motherhood, adoption, and confronting the darkest corners of the human spirit were just beginning. As a mother, survivor, and advocate, Gaby has walked through fire and emerged with a message of hope and resilience.

This memoir is more than just a personal narrative; it's a roadmap for finding strength in adversity. Discover how to find hope in the darkest times, understand the power of love and family in healing, explore the complexities of motherhood and adoption, and find inspiration to live life to the fullest.

Life is a precious gift, filled with both joy ad wrinkles. Can you find the courage to embrace it all?

This is a wonderous book, written with accessible clarity and "extra-ordinary" humanity. This is an important book, a journey of heart and emotion through suffering; the valley of the shadow of death. When you begin reading you may think this memoir has nothing to say to you. You wait. Tears will come, the joy will come, and then the gratitude will come.

Paul Young, author of The Shack
