About this book

The book is a memoir by Lewis Hine, who was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor and water on the brain at 17 months old. Despite being given little chance of survival, Hine not only lived but became an advocate for children facing similar medical challenges. He founded the nonprofit organization A World With Friends, which aims to ensure no child suffers from illness alone. The memoir follows his journey from a sick infant to a teenager using his experiences to help others.
