StoryCorps Shorts: Heart to Heart

In 1972, Sarah Churchill was pregnant with her third daughter, Yomi Young. Shortly after giving birth, doctors told Sarah that her baby had a rare genetic disorder that caused her bones to break under the slightest pressure, and that she had a choice — she could try to raise a child who might not survive or leave her at the hospital. In 2017, as Yomi was about to celebrate her 45th birthday, she visited the StoryCorps recording booth to thank her mom for never giving up on her.
