Vision is a gift most of us take for granted. New parents have so many responsibilities and often are inundated with the dos and don’ts of parenting, so understandably eye checkups can fall to the back of the “to-do” list. This journey will leave you with an indelible impression — your child’s vision is not a guarantee. This thought provoking account will “open your eyes” to the importance of making your child’s eye health a top priority, and will give you the tools to do so. Kimberlymcgath.com

This wasn't an easy book for me to read because of my personal connection with rheumatoid arthritis, but I have young grandchildren so it was important to push past those feelings of angst and move forward. I read the author's previous book, Zodiac: Settling the Score, and loved it. McGath didn't disappoint with Let Them See, either. Her insight into not only criminal investigations but the medical profession, as well, is nothing short of amazing. For an author to share their personal experience is so brave. We are there when her child is first diagnosed; when her life falls apart; and when her father's funeral is cut short by her son's medical emergency. Not only that, but she gives us the tools we need to help recognize the telltale signs of uvetis, a particular nasty disease that causes blindness, and a way to seek help.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether or not they have children in their lives. This topic is way to important to let slide. Do yourself a favor and read Let Them See. I, for one, will be getting my eyes checked immediately.
