Do angels ever incarnate in human bodies? This beautifully written, poignant, yet funny true story, suggests that they do. John and Martha Beck were an ambitious and driven all-American couple. Living and working in the fiercely competitive, intellectual hothouse of Harvard, the last thing they expected was to become parents to a Down's Syndrome baby, still less one who was an `incarnating angel', as they were told by a psychic. Yet, when Martha decided to trust in the tiny life she felt growing inside her, her hitherto ordinary life was transformed by magical visions and strange, heart stopping experiences which caused her and her husband to redefine everything of value to them, question their deepest beliefs, and put all their faith in miracles. And it worked. 328pp, 129mm x 197mm, softback, 2001
