A profound true, raw and honest story. Nixon was born with Gauchers Type 2 disease, which is extremely rare. When he was diagnosed, the doctors were able to count on their hands the number of children in the United States who currently have it. It is the lack of an enzyme that your body needs to survive. Without it, it causes children to become disabled and not live past the age of 3 years old. Nixon now makes the enzyme on his own and just turned 4. This story occurs in a world that most people are not affected by, which is why it is so important to share Nixon’s story to show how love and determination makes all the difference in the world. Kristin Skenderi’s “Holding Hope in Your Hands” will capture your attention from the very first page. From the moment you start reading the book, you realize that relentless love and unimaginable resiliency are the pathways to stay on course. After reading, you will be left somewhat speechless. You will go through so many emotions reading this book that you will feel you are right there with them. This book will be impossible to put down!! $4.99 on Kindle.
