Publisher's Synopsis
"Children universally take it for granted that their parents love them and will never abandon them. Not by bread alone--children need not only food, water, and shelter but also a loving family to provide these things to them. Dealing with a child not only as a patient but also as a person helps a pediatrician become a part of the flowing river of life with its constant stories, the content and complexity of which are many times more fantastic and thrilling than the most sophisticated science fiction novel."--from the book
