N2  - Pediatric geneticist Dr. Robert Marion has seen more than his share of tragedy among children. He has also witnessed more than a few miracles, and in this wonderful book he takes us into the pediatric ward to meet some of his most remarkable patients, their parents, their nurses and doctors.

Take Denise, whose tough-girl exterior could not protect her soft heart or her brittle bones. Or fifteen year-old Kevin, victim of fetal alcohol syndrome. Or Meghan's mother, who found the best way of showing her love for her dying child. Or Maryanne, a nurse who made it possible, one beautiful spring day, for Alex to walk outside the hospital for the first time in his four-year life. They are the true stars of these deeply satisfying stories, all models of the triump of compassion and courage over illness
