Kelly and Jason Ashley had planned their lives together out with precision and care. They would obtain college degrees, great careers, a home and then family and all was going as planned until their first son, Danny, was born with apparent brain damage, which turned their lives upside-down. Kelly instinctively did all that was required to care for Danny, but from the moment of his birth she was tormented with trying to understand why her beloved child had to experience the life he had been given and confused and upset that her God would allow this life for her son. Kelly relied on Jason for his strength, and believed in the only medical professional that saw beyond what the rational world held out for Danny. Dr. Hess would follow his hunch, coupled with his beliefs and courageously find what would ultimately be the answer for Danny.
