The birth of a child brings new and wonderful things...but not always. A Little Child Shall Lead Them chronicles the journey of Brandon Alexander, a baby born with a host of terminal maladies, and the spiritual metamorphosis of his mother, Lisa Alexander, in her quest to cure him. Abandoning her pragmatic views, Lisa turns to the Bible for help--a book she has effectively ignored for years-and clings to the prospect of hope, faith, and miracles, all wrapped up in the promise of God's healing. As Brandon battles to survive, she delves deeper and deeper into the spiritual realm, leaving her husband struggling to recognize who she is, or what she has become, against the backdrop of his own realist philosophies. The divergent views bring challenges in the midst of an already impossible situation, leaving the couple wondering how many casualties their son's illness will claim. Carla L. Garrett is an Administrative Law Judge for the State of California. In that capacity, she presides over due process hearings and issues decisions in accordance with the legal principles set forth in federal and state law. Prior, as Deputy Trial Counsel for the State Bar of California, she spent more than a decade prosecuting attorneys for professional misconduct. Carla is the mother of three, serving as their provider, protector, teacher, cheerleader, nurse, chauffer, advisor, advocate, admonisher, life coach, and as their number one fan. Carla lives in Los Angeles with her children, a stone's throw from the people who mean the most to her...her parents, her sisters, and the rest of her amazing family.
