Book Review: Through the Eyes of Hope by Lacey Buchanan

Lacey Buchanan is a tiger mom. I would call her a mama bear but that's so cliche. Lacey Buchanan is anything but cliche. Her new book, Through the Eyes of Hope, is a honest, tough, messy and gorgeous look at embracing life and fighting for the ones you love.  

Lacey and her husband had a fairytale romance and were thrilled when they discovered they were expecting.  Ultrasounds reviewed a birth defect.  The Buchanans decided to accept what God sent. However, when little Christian was born they were shocked by the degree of his birth defect.  Christian was born with a severe cleft pallet and his eyes did not form. Enter doctors, surgeries, insurance forms and heartbreaking comments from strangers. 

Lacey pours out their story with raw truth, plenty of grace around mistakes and the love of her son. The mighty abundance of God is what I saw the most. If you have ever struggled with questions about your life and how hardships can become your strength then you need to read this book.  Grab some tissues.
