1It all started March 6, 2012, as author Gina Davis sent her two children off to school-nine-year-old Eli and seven-year-old Elisha. Eli had a small cough, but not enough to concern his mother. But that symptom was just the beginning of a long journey during which Davis would rely more than ever on her faith in God. In Hope Climbs, she recounts the days and nights as Eli battled a rare disease that doctors found hard to diagnose. This story journeys into the valley and gives insight into a mother's heart as she watches her son die before her eyes. She tells this story of a son's struggle to live and a mother's struggle to find hope. Hope Climbs chronicles an epic journey that goes to the bottom of the mountain and then shows the light that comes when Davis didn't give up, when she didn't quit, when she just kept climbing. www.hopeclimbs.com
