Her family embarked on a journey filled with medical twists and turns, incredible joys, and shattering sorrows. Follow their journey from beginning to end, focusing on the waves of the abundant middle. This is a story of the evolution of a family and the compassionate care and support they received both from those expected to offer it, and from so many other more surprising participants. It is, at its core, an unforgettable love story, an unforgettable life story. <em>happy faces only</em> is not simply a book title, but one little girl's approach to living.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>happy faces only</em> is the story of Haley Klak's life, told gently by her mom.
