One Day at a Time: An inspiring memoir about the power of hope and faith for readers of Heartstrong and Girl Who Fell From The Sky

A treasured son. A rare condition. A memoir of loss and joy and everything in between. My mind is racing. I’m trying to make sense of what the doctors have told us, to understand what life is going to look like now, for Levi and for us. We need to tell our families, I think to myself. But Mum is so unwell – how are we going to tell Mum? On a Melbourne afternoon in the eerie early days of the pandemic, young parents Jordan and Gary Ablett finally learned why their beautiful baby boy, Levi, had not been hitting the milestones that most new parents celebrate and are reassured by. After months of concern and worry, the specialists’ diagnosis gave them clarity, but with it came an overwhelming sorrow at the loss of the life they had imagined for their son, and for themselves as a family. In One Day at a Time , Jordan bravely shares how she struggled to come to terms with Levi’s condition and the new, unexpected path her life had taken raising a child with a disability, while helping to care for her beloved mother as she lived through the final stages of cancer. Raw and honest, this is a story of devastating grief and pain, but it is also the story of how, with the love and unwavering support of her family, and with her faith as her anchor, Jordan and her AFL legend husband found the courage to go on and learned to celebrate every day with Levi as a blessing. It’s about finding joy in what you have, even as you mourn what you have lost, and never taking life for granted. —- ISBN: 9781460766187 | ISBN10: 1460766180 | ISBN-13: 978-1460766187
