Emma Gilkison is thrilled to be pregnant. But during a routine twelve-week ultrasound she learns that the baby's heart is growing outside his body – an extremely rare and usually fatal condition called ectopia cordis. She and her partner Roy face a heartbreaking decision. Should they end the pregnancy, or continue in the knowledge their baby will die? They walk an emotional minefield as they struggle to agree on a way forward. Seeking help and spiritual counsel from people of many different views and beliefs, they find hope, meaning, and consolation in unexpected places. The Heart of Jesús Valentino is an extraordinary story about a young couple forced to go beyond their everyday experience and confront head-on issues of life and death.
