Beside my hand, Julian’s tiny fingers—fingers that had remained limp for months—had twitched. He hadn't just moved; he had shifted his weight toward the sound of my voice. / Chapter 2 / 10

Chapter 2 - THE MAISIE METHODThe next morning, I didn't wait for the doctors. I waited for Maisie. When she walked in, she didn't look for a miracle; she looked for a playmate. She began narrating the life of Clover the Rabbit, acting out loud, dramatic adventures right in front of Julian’s crib.

"Julian, Clover is going to fly now!" she shouted, waving the rabbit.

And then, it happened. Julian’s head turned. It was slow, agonizingly deliberate, but he tracked the movement of the rabbit. I saw it. Lauren saw it. We stood in the doorway, unable to breathe, watching my son interact with the world for the very first time.
