What could be more life-shattering than being told that your newborn baby has a deadly leukemia? That awful news was delivered to young mother Pia de Jong. But rather than subject her infant daughter to devastating chemotherapy, she decided to follow her intuition--to watch and wait. Miraculously, Charlotte survived--and in the crisis, de Jong found her life's calling as a writer. Saving Charlotte is her luminous account, trembling with fear--but also with hope--of one extraordinary year.--Annalyn Swan, Pulitzer Prize-winning coauthor of De Kooning: An American Master
