Book Overview
From the first moments of her son's life, Rachel Carver knew that something was terribly wrong as her baby cried incessantly and vomited frequently. Her friends and family assured her that her baby was normal, while her doctors offered platitudes, eventually suggesting that Rachel was an unfit mother as Rachel fought to be heard; her pleas falling on deaf ears. When the doctors finally acknowledged that her fears were justified, and they tried to tell her that her baby was dying, her only question was, "When can I take my baby home?"
Gino's Mom is based on the extraordinary true story of one woman's relentless fight against impossible odds. Navigating an brutal marriage, repressive career barriers, and medical incompetence, Rachel refused to surrender. Through heartbreak, an abusive husband, and a hostile work environment, she discovered a courage she never knew she possessed, to not only give her son a life the doctors said was impossible, but to also rise through the glass ceiling and reach the pinnacle of her profession.
