Description

Sarah Williams' extraordinary true story begins with the welcome news of a new member of her family. A happy marriage and teaching position at Oxford University had given her a life of success and knowledge, but it was about to be transformed by an unborn daughter who would teach her what it means to be human. A hospital scan revealed a lethal skeletal dysplasia, making birth fatal. Despite this, Sarah and her husband decided to carry the baby to term, a decision that shocked medical staff and colleagues alike. They named their daughter Cerian, Welsh for "loved one," and embarked on a journey to defend their child's dignity and worth against incomprehension and hostility. In this candid account, Sarah shares her heart-stretching personal experience of loving the vulnerable, treasuring the unlovely, and facing fear with dignity and hope. A rare and powerful story that raises important cultural issues, Cerian is a testament to the beauty and value of human life.
