Accepting What We Can’t Understand

from RARECast

In “More than We Expected: Five Years with a Remarkable Child,” James Robinson recounts the life and death of his son Nadav, who was born with a congenital heart condition. The book follows the family’s efforts to address and manage Nadav’s rare condition. As tragic as losing a child is, Robinson says his book is not a sad story. In fact, the book is filled with Robinson’s encounters with the wonders of parenthood, human kindness, and unexpected connections. We spoke to Robinson about his experience as the father of a child with a rare disease, life in hospital wards across two continents, and the feeling of pride in his son that remains.
