Show Notes
On today’s Catholic Morning Show:
Laura Stewart, author of Orchestra for Oliver: Even the Shortest Lives Are Special, shares the story that inspired her children’s book after her grandson received a prenatal diagnosis that he would not survive long after birth. The book helps families talk about grief, loss, and the dignity of every human life through a gentle story centered on faith, family, and the healing power of music.
