When a car accident landed Teresa Aeschliman's oldest sister Pauline in the hospital with severe injuries, seven-year-old Teresa knew what to do: sing, climb on the furniture, pray, eat her peas, dance, sing some more, search for matching socks, pray again, and snuggle Chubb the Bear.

While Pauline was in a coma and doctors exhausted every medical intervention available, Teresa and Pauline's family gathered in prayer. What came next can only be described as a miracle. Pauline, whose family had been told she would not live, came back to abundant life.
