520 0  When author Zetta Sylvia Baillou-Poitier met her husband, 
       Floyd, in 1988, it was love at first sight. She had no 
       idea he carried the sickle-cell trait, and he had no idea 
       Zetta also had the sickle-cell trait. But it set the stage
       for the challenges the couple would face as they started a
       family together. In "Facing Two Sickles," Zetta shares the
       story of raising two children diagnosed with sickle-cell 
       disease, an inherited condition affecting a person's 
       haemoglobin. In this memoir, she offers a look at the 
       diseaase, its symptoms, its treatment, and she tells how 
       she leaned on the Lord.  "Facing Two Sickles" offers 
       encouragement and inspiration to caretakers and parents of
       children with sickle-cell disease. Through Zetta's 
       personal story, it helps one cope with the death of a 
       loved one, and it sends the message that those coping with
       dire illness and loss are not alone.
