One Tattered Angel: A Touching True Story of the Power of Love

This true story recounts how one family's love reached past severe physical limits. Blaine Yorgason and his wife Kathy adopted a little girl in 1988, whom they came to call their angel. Charity was born with hydranencephaly, having little more than a brain stem and fluid where a brain should be. Her arrival changed the lives of everyone in the household, and Blaine shares both the hardships and the deeper joys of raising her alongside their six children. Surrounded by affection and compassion, Charity lived far beyond what her doctors had predicted and grew in ways no one expected.
