NEW YORK—April 13, 2021—Morgan James’ new release, Chronic Hope: Raising a Child with Chronic Illness with Grace, Courage, and Love by Bonnie O’Neil, tells the true story of one family’s journey to raise a child with chronic illness. O’Neil’s personal experiences color her writing as she offers necessary tools for parents facing a similarly emotional and unexpected path ahead. 

Drawing from the author’s personal experience as a caregiver, Chronic Hope offers a hopeful vision for navigating the emotional stress of raising a child with chronic illness. O’Neil shares practical insight and solutions in the tone of a friend who’s been there—a fellow parent who truly understands—as she introduces strategies for parents to find and demonstrate wisdom, patience, and love through the many obstacles of raising a child with chronic illness. 

By normalizing the unhealthy emotional responses associated with raising a child with chronic illness, Chronic Hope provides a vision of parenting where fatigue, fear, and anger are replaced with grace, courage, and love so parents can cultivate healthy relationships between themselves and their children. Chronic Hope combines research with personal experience, guiding parents to process their emotions and remember that behind the darkness of illness, suffering, and broken dreams, there is strength, resilience, and loving self-sacrifice.
