Letizia’s practical theological method resounds the voices of parents, caregivers, siblings, other family members, and pastors of people with profound disabilities and their families, all of whose reflections illuminate the depth, richness, and expansiveness of divine love that holds individuals, their families, and their church communities together in lives of faithfulness to and enabled by God.
