Description

What would you do with an unexpected crisis?
Step into a family that believes wellness and potential are their little son's birthright. Even though he has acute and mysterious developmental problems, even though his doctors advise only patience and acceptance--parents Judy and Steve plan to bring about a full recovery, one way or another.

Would you set out to fix things yourself?
