"A normal family, parents, kids, leading a normal life -- and then a life-or-death medical crisis hits one of the kids. In race the medical vultures, ready with plenty of costly requirements, while obstructing pursuit of a cure. The year is 2020. Families, businesses, jobs are sucked into a vortex of uncertainty as Covid 19 races from border to border around the world. It was this backdrop of destruction where 10-year-old Nick Hampton found himself after kidney failure brought him to the best hospital in the Midwest for care. It wasn’t long before he and his family were thrown into a whirlpool of deceit and an attempt by the hospital to remove Nick from his parents and take over his guardianship. Reviewers describe this book as 'edgy' and say they cannot put it down; others agree with the premise of lost trust in our medical community because of personal experience. All demand a sequel because, as in real life, there's more beyond the veil of words, there is deception." -- Publisher.
