THE ULTIMATE GIFT: A True Love Story
by Mike and Annie Scheaffer

The Ultimate Gift is a real-life Cinderella story where next to impossible dreams come true. Mike and Annie Sheaffer have defied the odds of chance and have restored to the human spirit the reality of hope. More compelling than the account of their personal victory is how they empowered others while their own dreams were being fulfilled. The Sheaffer's story is a tale of unconditional love that has changed their lives and provided a solution to another of man's problems. In this inspiring account, Mike and Annie recount their mistakes from his two broken marriages and her post-abortion trauma from college days. As they seek to rebuild their lives and start a family, they are dealt a loser's hand - infertility. After confronting discouraging adoption roadblocks, Mike puts his creative talents to work.
