When the unthinkable becomes your reality and doctors speak the words every mother dreads, your world stops. You pray for a miracle, cling to every Scripture you know, and beg God to rewrite the story. What do you do when He doesn't?

In Ports, Prosthetics, and a Whole Lotta Prayer, Ashley Selby-Karney invites you into the raw, sacred journey of raising her son through childhood cancer, amputation, five relapses, and the heartbreaking moment she was called to release him into the arms of Jesus. With vulnerability, humor, grit, and unshakeable faith, you'll see that even in the valley no mother wants to walk, God is still present, still kind, and still working.

This memoir is not just the story of a young man's courageous fight- it is the story of a mother becoming who God called her to be in the darkest chapters of her life. For the mom standing at the bedside, pleading for healing and terrified of what comes next, Ashley's story offers hope to hold, a Light to follow, and a love that outlives death itself.

You may feel like you won't survive this pain, but you will. There is strength inside you the storm cannot steal, and there is life- real, meaningful, beautiful life- on the other side of loss. Let this story remind you that your child's light can become your legacy, and that with God, even the deepest pain can lead to purpose.
