Patricia discusses how Jesse David became a man while still in his youth, despite the challenges he bravely endured. In this memoir, she chronicles how the diagnosis sent her on a trek that began as an effort to learn ways to help him thrive and turned into a voyage in search of the purpose of life and what heaven is really about. A Reason for Rainbows also provides an understanding of conventional and alternative treatments, as well as supplemental nutritional therapies that are widely incorporated throughout the Cystic Fibrosis population.
