Gold

About this book

When Jackie Yafanaro was born in August of 1986, the odds were already against her. She was diagnosed with two rare, life-threatening diseases, and the doctors told her parents she wouldn't survive more than ten days. Now thirty-six years old, she's only two feet tall and weighs just forty pounds; she's the size of a one-year-old baby. In Gold, she shares the story of her life and of not giving up. It's about staying steadfast to your faith no matter how difficult things are. Yafanaro tells about her many physical and medical challenges, but she also focuses on the miracles God has bestowed throughout her lifetime. This memoir chronicles how Yafanaro lives her life to the fullest, buoyed by her faith in Christ, despite facing challenges daily. She communicates that life is fleeting, and we should cherish every moment we have.
