Special Heart - by Bret Baier (Paperback)

About the Book

Special Heart is a personal story told through the eyes of a journalist as he faces the most daunting challenge in life-- far more frightening than reporting from battlefields, infinitely more momentous than interviewing newsmakers of the day-- caring for his critically ill newborn son.

Book Synopsis

Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier shares the New York Times bestselling story of his son Paul's ongoing battle with heart disease, and how it transformed his own life and family.

This deeply touching personal story is told through the eyes of a journalist as he faces his life's greatest crisis: caring for his critically ill son. With the acute insight of a seasoned reporter, and the deep love of a husband and father, Baier shares behind-the-scenes stories and emotional narrative of young Paul's life thus far. Bret and his wife Amy emerge-just like their brave young son-scarred but infinitely stronger, and clearly understanding what matters most in life. Told by a loving father and master storyteller, this hope-filled account offers an inspirational glimpse into the family of a man who just happens to be someone millions turn to for the day's news.
