Jennifer Christie had thought that her days as a mother were over. The then-38-year-old sign language interpreter and her husband, Jeff, then 39, had agreed that he have a vasectomy, which meant that their four children, Julia, Mackenzie, Noah, and Spencer, would be it.
But then one terrible evening, while Jennifer was away for work, a man followed her from the parking lot to her hotel room, brutally assaulting and raping her. Left for dead outside the hotel in freezing-cold weather, Jennifer awoke to find she still had her life, but at a cost. In addition to the serious injuries she had sustained, she would discover six weeks later that she was pregnant.
