<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When John and Marlene Strege learned they wouldn't be able to have a child, they were devastated. Then Marlene asked the question that would change their lives: Can frozen embryos be adopted? The answer not only gave them their beloved daughter Hannah, it drew all three into a political spotlight they never expected.</p> <p>Hundreds of thousands of frozen embryos exist, held in stasis because parents using in vitro fertilization have completed their families without them. When scientists discovered a way to extract stem cells from human embryos for disease research and cures, those tiny lives were suddenly at risk. And Hannah, just a few months after this discovery, became the first human face of the growing resistance to this new science. In the first few years of her life, she not only sparked other parents to adopt their own "snowflake babies," but she also inspired the first frozen embryo adoption program, featured on Focus on the Family (getting a new godfather in Dr. Dobson), attended her mother's testimony in Congress, and stood at President Bush's side as he vetoed federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.</p> <p>This compelling story unfolds at the intersection of faith and family, science and politics. Pro-life Christians, those who have experienced infertility or know those who have, and anyone concerned with where science can lead when moral and ethical concerns are ignored will welcome this book--and the sweet face of the baby who might never have been born.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"John Strege has been a respected colleague and trusted friend for forty years. It brought me much joy when he found a life mate in his lovely wife, Marlene, but nothing could be more life-affirming than the miracle that Hannah is. Need evidence and inspiration that God is the author of life? Read Hannah's story."-- (12/03/2019)<br><br>"John Strege is a friend and a talented author and writer. Thanks to Marlene and John Strege stepping out in faith, a beautiful girl is now living a wonderful life."-- (12/03/2019)<br><br>"John, Marlene, and Hannah Strege are integral to the creation and history of embryo adoption. Now families have welcomed over seven hundred babies who otherwise would still be frozen in liquid nitrogen in a fertility clinic. John and Marlene are tireless promoters, connectors, speakers, and leaders for this unique form of adoption, and it all started with <i>A Snowflake Named Hannah</i>, the story of Snowflake baby number one."-- (12/03/2019)<br><br>"One of the unlikeliest and most impactful books I have ever read. John is a gifted sportswriter and, it turns out, a tribune of life with the pen. This book, like Hannah herself, makes a powerful case against embryonic stem cell research and for embryo adoption. All you can do is marvel at the life and testimony of Hannah, Marlene, and John--and pass along this amazing book which may bring forth many other precious lives and will inspire a renewed focus on the central issue at the heart of these debates: life is a precious gift and needs our collective protection from conception until the last breath."-- (12/03/2019)<br>
