Lauren's Song: Better Days Ahead is the illustrated true story of Lauren Ashley Wiltz--the miracle baby born at one pound via emergency C-section in 2006. It parallels the turmoil and trials endured by the baby in the NICU and her mother as she struggles through a very rough pregnancy that tumultuously ended in an emergency C-section that almost cost her life, as well as the life of her premature child. It also chronicles the strong presence of her father and how his unconditional love and support, as well as their family's, would also make a powerful difference!

The book describes devastating medical challenges that resulted from her mother's rediagnosis with lupus following ten years in remission. It seeks to poignantly illustrate her other struggles of being a new first-time mom to a very sick baby while also being a wife, as well as many other challenges resulting from this devastating unfamiliar circumstance--challenges of conquering depression, infertility, broken dreams, and feelings of defeat and inadequacy.

Lauren's Song aspires to inspire the reader to look past what their natural eyes will see and focus on the strength God has innately allocated within each of us, activating their faith to power, even in the most devastating circumstances.

It will remind you that regardless of how dark the days may seem, there is still light in the darkness, hope in despair, a song of inspiration, and victory in Christ Jesus!

To every woman in a personal struggle or every believer overcome by the vicissitudes of life, this book will breathe encouragement into your situation and give you confidence in God who can do above all we can ask or think! This illustrated account from the voice of Lauren--who at the time was voiceless and delivered at twenty-five weeks from the womb of a mother with blood pressure so high she just barely escaped a coma and whose husband had to decide between the life of his wife or their unborn child--will allow the believer to truly see the hand of God and experience this wonderful miracle of life from predelivery to absolute victory!
