January 25, 2018, was mundane. Boring even. By the next morning, Jennifer Nunes's life had exploded when her young child suffered a severe stroke that left him in critical condition.
In Making It to Monday, Nunes integrates deep emotion and ongoing reflection as she shares about the months and years that followed the life-altering event that shook her family to their core. From living in a hospital and navigating the health-care system to learning to parent a child with special needs and powering through the darkest of days, Nunes came to acknowledge that trauma and challenge opened her up to newfound strength, hope, and acceptance.
Making It to Monday is a triumphant account of how endurance, love, and happiness exist in each of us in times of crises. In fact, there is no faster way to learn that we are tougher than we realize. The darkness will not last forever, but change will-and that is a beautiful thing.
