This remarkable book features true stories about children and families, originating from the author's over 50 years in pediatric medicine. Their conditions are described in story fashion, shedding light on "attacks" made on children that rob them of their right to reach their highest potential.
Explained Dr. Vernon L. James, "Many parents and teachers have requested that I write this book. I became emotionally involved as I recalled each child and their family. When finished, I was rewarded in knowing that I might have touched at least one person to become an advocate for a child."
The attacks that children face include flawed chromosomes or genes, infectious diseases, starvation, and a toxic environment. Having the knowledge in this book can lead parents to guide their children to a healthier and happier life.
"This amazing book takes an insider's look at the state of children's medicine and what can be done to improve our children's lives. We are thrilled to announce its release," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
