Madeleine Heitner son was my Pediatrician and later both my little boy's. I read this book shortly after it was published, it's beautiful and truly reflects a strong woman struggles and what she did and needed to do to survive a true inspiration for us modern day woman.
It truly deserves more recognition and availability
