  • Mistaken Identity : Two Families One Survivor Unwavering Hope

    $18.99

    The stunning true story of two families trading places from graveside to bedside.

    Five lives were lost in a tragic accident involving a Taylor University van, and one young woman, severely injured and comatose, was rushed to the hospital. Families, faculty, students, and communities grieved their losses and joined in prayer and hope as the one young woman, Laura Van Ryn, fought for her life in a hospital bed. The national news spread the story, and people everywhere shared the grief and the hope.

    Five weeks passed for the Cerak family. Believing they had buried their daughter, the Ceraks clung to their faith and worshipped God through their tears, learning to look forward with hope to an eternal reunion with their lovely daughter Whitney. They spent weeks in mourning and grief, slowly moving toward healing.

    Five weeks passed for the Van Ryns. Keeping a constant bedside vigil over their precious daughter Laura, they sat and prayed and hoped. They rejoiced at each tiny advance toward recovery. They celebrated each sign of Laura’s healing.

    And then the shock! “Okay, Laura, I would like you to write your name for me,” the occupationaltherapist said. W-H-I-T-N-E-Y.

    An event that could be seen as pure tragedy becomes a celebration of life’s unfathomable gifts and mysteries.
