Description

Pia de Jong's memoir tells the story of her newborn daughter Charlotte's battle with leukemia and the intuitive decision that led to her recovery.

When Charlotte was born, a pale blue spot appeared on her back, which soon multiplied. The diagnosis was devastating: a rare and deadly form of leukemia, often treated with chemotherapy. Pia de Jong and her husband Robbert made an unconventional choice - to bring their daughter home instead of subjecting her to treatment.

The result was a remarkable recovery, one that gave Charlotte's mother the greatest gift of all: purpose. This is a heartwarming and powerful story about a daughter's fight to survive, and a mother's fight to live a life of passion and meaning alongside her.
