Reviews:
"This is a must-read for anyone who cares about health care, patients, caregivers, doctors and nurses. It was an easy read as it was a very personal and touching story of a mother and patient experiencing Canada’s health care system from many different vantage points. Sue’s message of kindness is critical, timely and heartwarming. Have tissues on hand. It is hard to put down."
