Under the Rainbow - Softcover

The young student midwife wrestled with sleep as the events of the day played over in her mind. The picture of her placing the dead baby girl on the mortuary shelf just wouldn t go away. As she finally succumbed to exhaustion, she whispered to her own unborn child: Well, Baby, at least we know God would never allow this to happen to us. But He did. Twice! This is the story of a mother s journey with God through heartache and loss. It reveals with remarkable honesty the disappointment, devastation and even anger she feels when confronted with what some would see as unfortunate genetic mistakes. In time, she comes to see it differently. Catherine Campbell shows us the delights, as well as the sorrows, of her family life. We stand Under the Rainbow with her as she experiences the reality of the promises of God, which eventually lead to acceptance and freedom. More than an autobiography, the book takes a glimpse at issues such as friendship; helping children grieve, and turning pain into gain. It will make you laugh, and it may make you cry, but ultimately it will reveal to you a God who always keeps His promises.

She lives in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, with her husband, Philip, who is a Congregational minister. They have three children; a married son, and two daughters in Heaven.
