Heart Rending and Informative

Alice Ball Breuer tells her story of unimaginable loss and difficulties - much of which could have been prevented if doctors and hospitals had been more careful in diagnoses and treatment of her husband. Written in a compelling manner, it's hard to put the book down. Her tenacity and unwavering faith come through on every page to make this a true testament to the power of her faith in Christ. It is also an eye-opener to health care dangers and a wake-up call for all of us to pay closer attention to the details of our health care and not to blindly trust doctors and caregivers to never make mistakes. I highly recommend this book.
