She emphasizes the Church's enduring support for couples, highlighting marriage as a vocation to holiness and evangelization.

    • The book explores the societal perceptions of profound disability, challenging the notion that it creates a divide between 'us' and 'them.' It argues that viewing individuals with profound disabilities as 'the other' fosters misunderstanding and disconnect. By reframing this perspective, the author encourages readers to rethink their assumptions and engage more empathetically with those who experience profound disabilities, emphasizing the importance of connection and shared humanity.
