“Choosing to See” by Mary Beth Chapman is the true story of Singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth and the loss of their 5 year old adopted Chinese daughter, Maria, in 2008. Well, the word ‘loss’ is actually a euphemism for ‘the death of’. Worse, little Maria was killed accidently when run over by her older brother, Will. Chapman does not look at this tragedy with a pie in the sky attitude; rather she lays out her deepest sorrow and the overwhelming loss of it all right in front of us. She describes son Will’s anguish, as well as describing her questions of God with tears and despair. A heartfelt well written book.
