Uncertain Tomorrows

A true story about life in the shadow of genetic illness

Miriam is a normal eleventh grader, trying to live a normal life with schoolwork, bake sales, and friends. Except that most days after school, she heads straight to the hospital. Except that she had a younger brother who never had a chance to grow up. Except that she has two sisters fighting for their lives.

For Miriam and her family live in the overwhelming shadow of genetic disease.

I try to keep the house together until my father comes home from work. I try to keep myself together. I try to keep all the threads in my life from unraveling.

Uncertain Tomorrows is a sensitively written, emotionally engaging story of one girl’s struggle to triumph over her fears and face the future with hope and faith.
