About this book

A Mother's Nightmare: A Heartrending Journey into Near Fatal Childhood Illness by Crimmins, Cathy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312357818.

In the tradition of Lorenzos Oil, a brutally searing story of one mothers quest to save her childs lifeOne day Kelly Crimmins was a happy seemingly healthy twelve-year-old; the next she confessed to her mom that she€™d had blood in her urine for months. After a series of tests, Kelly was diagnosed with a life-threatening, potentially terminal autoimmune disease.A Mother€™s Nightmare details Cathy and Kelly€™s three-year medical and emotional journey, which took them from Philadelphia to Minnesota€™s Mayo Clinic and back again. Cathy writes about the toll taken on a young girl who suddenly becomes a patient, and about a mom who in fighting for her little girl€™s life becomes sick herself with worry and fear. As she did in her award-winning Where Is the Mango Princess?, Cathy makes illness both personal and universal. It€™s an account all readers will find memorable and moving.
