Book Description:

A New Memoir from New York Times Bestselling Author Kathleen Norris

“My sister Rebecca had perinatal hypoxia, but I knew and loved her as my little sister long before I heard that term applied to her. As Becky became a toddler our parents noted that her development was not like that of my older brother and myself. But that mattered less to all of us than the fact that we enjoyed the company of a lively little person, who in an atmosphere of familial love and support was developing a strong personality.”

Discover the untold story behind one of Kathleen Norris’s deeply personal relationships in Rebecca Sue. Best known for her insightful and poignant reflections on faith and life, Norris steps into uncharted territory by sharing an intimate memoir exploring the life of her younger sister Becky. Born with perinatal hypoxia, Becky’s life was shaped by physical and mental disabilities, yet her spirit and resilience illuminate the hidden power of faith, family, and love.

With Norris’s signature blend of poetic prose, spiritual reflection, and heartfelt storytelling, Rebecca Sue invites readers into a profoundly moving narrative. This isn’t just a memoir; it’s a tender tribute to Becky’s intelligence, her struggles, and her extraordinary ability to inspire those around her. Through Becky, Norris examines the strength of familial bonds, the complexity of emotional and practical caregiving, and the myriad ways God works in our lives―seen and unseen.

Kathleen Norris, a five-time New York Times bestselling author, weaves her family’s story with the depth and nuance her fans have come to cherish. Rebecca Sue explores the resilience of the human spirit, weaving a powerful story of perseverance, hope, and the unexpected ways people find strength during life’s toughest moments.

This book is a heartfelt exploration of relationships, resilience, and faith―perfect for anyone drawn to spiritual growth, human connection, or those who belong to or support the disability community.
