Publisher's Notes
When Donna Sabia went into labor on April 1, 1984, she was expecting healthy twins. Instead, one of the babies was stillborn and the other just barely clinging to life. The Sabias loved Little Tony and never considered putting him in a home. But caring for their son would exhaust them, emotionally, physically, and financially, and put a nearly lethal strain on their marriage. It was only when Donna, at the local playground, met another mother who suggested suing that Sabias saw some hope for relief.
This is the compelling true story of one family's journey into the maelstrom of a malpractice lawsuit and the attorneys, doctors, insurance carriers, and countless other players in the seven-year struggle toward resolution. It is at once a heartrending tale of human sorrow and, in the words of The San Francisco Chronicle, "a disturbing biopsy of a system in serious need of overhaul."
