Doyle Williams has written a family history focusing on his mother, Carrie Viola Reeves, her siblings, Emma, Annie, and Charlie, and her parents, James Morgan Reeves and Sarah Frances Spencer. In this story he describes the turmoil that enveloped James Morgan as a small child in Arkansas during the Civil War and how it took his father's life and the lives of five of his siblings. He follows James Morgan as he moves to Texas with his mother, leaving home at age ten to find his own way, and returning to Arkansas to grow up and marry. When his wife, Elizabeth Wolf, dies leaving him with a large family to rear, he returns to Texas, where he finds a new wife in Sarah Frances Spencer. James Morgan and Sarah move to Oklahoma Territory in the early 1890s, make their lives there and rear their own family. The author follows the children of James Morgan and Sarah as they grow up, marry, and eventually care for their aging parents. This is the story of an American pioneering family.

But there is one particular experience transcending all others—a baby's first breath, that primal cry of a brand-new human being that's so powerful, so rich, and so pure, it brings instant tears. The cycle of life begins anew—full of expectation, hope, and love. Every baby is magnificent, beautiful, perfection itself, whose grand entrance into this world is never commonplace. How could it be?

This brief exchange with holiness is undeniable, a treasured memory forever, and certainly a story worth sharing. These are the stories Nancy Spencer shares in Heaven in My Hands. Accept the invitation to laugh and be surprised and inspired as you read some of the most humorous, tender, poignant, and life-altering births Nancy has encountered in her decades-long midwifery practice. Journey with these families and see the glory of God shining in the face of each sweet little boy and girl. When the miracle of life changes everything, these gifts from God truly are heaven in our hands.
