When Darkness Wears a Child's Face
Hannah and Christopher Bauer's world changes forever when a severely malnourished toddler named Janie arrives at Christopher's hospital. Despite her horrific condition-untreated fractures, scars covering her tiny body, and signs of severe neglect-she smiles shyly and reaches for Christopher with bent fingers, asking if he'll fix her. For the Bauers, who've endured years of infertility treatments and a failed adoption, this moment feels like destiny. Christopher becomes obsessed with Janie's case, spending every spare moment by her bedside during recovery. When the opportunity arises to become her emergency foster parents, they leap at the chance. How could they know that beneath this child's fragile exterior lies something far more complex and potentially dangerous than they could imagine? Their journey reflects our universal belief that love can heal all wounds-but what happens when some damage runs too deep for even the most devoted hearts to repair?
