Little One Laugh Little One Run Linda Markell

"Carry me, Daddy. I can't walk"-six words that catapult the parents of three-year-young Kim into a quagmire of medical rhetoric as they seek answers to the reasons for her words. 'Touch me, courage, not softly' becomes the high bar they cling to as they begin a journey that has no roadmap, no borders, except their own love. Would life at any cost be an unacceptable option? Would refusing to subject Kim to extreme medical experimentation that would cause unknown devastating consequences be an acceptable option? Would they be able to withstand the pressure from the medical profession to experiment for the sake of future children, but not for the benefit of Kim? To save the village they may destroy Kim. Would you? Little One Laugh Little One Run: creates new meaning to the words life and love.
