“Hearts of Gold: Broken Bodies, Immeasurable Blessings” by Kathy Pounds Graham unfolds in the rural heart of Mississippi, where Kathy’s faith-driven yet simple life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of her two sons. Initially, Shawn and Jason seemed healthy, but it soon became clear that they were facing developmental delays. This sparked a relentless quest for answers, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of PMD, a rare genetic disorder that impacts the myelin sheath in the brain. Despite bleak medical predictions—doctors doubted they would reach their teenage years, Shawn lived to 47 and Jason to 45, defying all expectations.
