The Cure
When John and Aileen Crowley’s two children were diagnosed with a fatal muscular disorder, their perfect world crashed. So rare was Pompe disease that no drug company had yet produced a cure. Determined to find scientists who could develop an enzyme that would keep his children alive, John invested himself and his savings in a biotech start-up. The company went on to make medical and business history, but the struggle to save his children was far from over. Powerful, gripping and inspiring, The Cure is the story of a couple who wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Rivetting to the end. Boy did it take me from the world of health to business and back to life itself! It truly feels like a miracle unfolding in front of your eyes. Its an extraordinary story of never saying 'I quit'. If you ever think life's giving you lemons, pick this book up.
