Humdinger! noun: an extraordinary person or event is a story of life-threatening events and triumph over death and despair. The book is simple and direct, but it has a profound impact. If you are like me, once you pick it up, you won t be able to stop reading until the end, and you will be the better for it. --Dr. Terry Bergeson Executive Director San Francisco School Alliance Former Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction

The book is great. I think that many health care professionals do not realize how well the survivors do over time. If you take Stephanie s case, the nurses asked why we are bothering with this patient. She is in bad shape and she has not improved for so many days. I said, you know that her brain doesn t look that bad. She is a young person. Let us persist with the full three weeks of treatment and see what she does. Guess what? At the end of two and half weeks, she started to turn dramatically for the better. --Dr. Laligam N. Sekhar, M.D., Seattle, WA Neurosurgeon and Vice-chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery

I read your script in one breath this weekend. The writing is beautiful, the love exhibited is moving. I am profoundly touched by your accomplishment. Remember last Christmas when you, Stephanie, asked me what present or gift I wanted? Your well being and health is my biggest gift . --Dr. Peter Jiang, M.D., Ph.D., Everett, WA Hematology/Oncologist
