Six years into their marriage, Judith and Greg Scott decided to have a child; they were blessed with the birth of beautiful Emily.

But their euphoria was short lived when their child was diagnosed with a rare and disabling condition: Partial Trisomy 13. Emily, they were told, would never walk, talk or read.

From this tragic beginning unfolds the astonishing, life-altering journey of Out Came the Sun. Emily struggles to learn life's simple tasks, lagging far behind her peers. And the strains on her parents' marriage nearly cause it to come apart at the seams.

But when Emily starts exceeding her doctor's expectations, Judith realizes that she too can overcome adversity by opening her life to more love and more children. This riveting, beautiful memoir demonstrates that extraordinary fortitude requires to take misfortune and valiantly turn it into triumph.
