- Summary:
- "Diagnosed with a uterine tumor while pregnant with her fourth child, Gianna Molla, a medical doctor, refused a hysterectomy that would have killed her child, opting instead for a riskier surgery. She gave birth to a healthy daughter--but herself succumbed to an infection, leaving behind a husband and three small children ... This unique biography, co-authored by Gianna's own husband, recounts her life leading up to the ultimate sacrifice: a life of heroic witness, love, service, and joy."--Back cover.
