Summary

"It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a village to write a book." When Diana Kupershmit's daughter Emma was born with physical and mental disabilities, she did not believe she could be the mother Emma needed. But during the brief 18 years Emma was alive, she offered Diana countless lessons on how to find her voice, her strength, and her ability to take full advantage of the second chances life can offer.
