The story of Heidi FitzGerald beautifully encapsulates the themes of motherhood and faith, and reveals the extraordinary ways God is working in people’s lives.

Heidi’s path is a testament to the transformative power of faith. Raised in a Lutheran home but initially lacking a personal connection with God, it was through her grandmother’s influence that she experienced a spiritual awakening.
