I am reviewing a copy of Saving Sarah through St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley:

Sarah was born with Cystic Fibrosis and his been dying from the day she was born. The disease quickly destroyed her lungs and her body bit by bit. Sarah was fragile and frail with only weeks to live when her Mom realized the reality of Sarah’s situation, the transplant laws, restricting access based on age restrictions leaving Sarah’s options limited. The injustice of her daughter's fate based on these laws drove Janet to fight for her daughter and others like her.

Janet was able to transfer her pain and desperation into a voice for Sarah as well as other kids using social media to broadcast the unfairness, the unfairness that was taking her daughters right to live from her.

Against all odds and in large part due to her Mother Sarah survives despite being close to death on more than one occasion, but it is not without struggle.

Saving Sarah is a story of hope and courage.

Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
