Learning Your Children's Names Again: A Memoir of Love, Brain Surgery, and the Miracles in Between

Rate this book
When Jenney's headaches turned into seizures, their family of six faced an unthinkable brain cancer, discovered while she was pregnant with their fourth child.

In this raw and deeply personal memoir, Jerad chronicles his wife's harrowing journey through emergency brain surgery, aggressive immunotherapy, and the brutal side effects that followed. As experimental treatments pushed Jenney's body to its limits—from white blood cell rebellions to life-threatening reactions—Jerad found himself wrestling with twenty years of abandoned faith, breaking down in prayer for the first time since walking away from God.

Learning Your Children's Names Again captures the relentless uncertainty of cancer treatment, where hope and despair exist in the same hospital room, where cutting-edge medicine meets its match in the human spirit. It's about watching the person you love fight through treatment after treatment, holding onto faith when the odds keep getting worse.

A story of medical perseverance, spiritual awakening, and the fierce love that carries a family through the unimaginable—even when the cure seems as dangerous as the disease.
