In a small town in New Hampshire lives seemingly the most ordinary family: a dad, a mom, and two daughters. But unfortunately, the youngest daughter, five-year-old Willow, suffers from a rare genetic disorder, and any careless movement can lead to...
a fracture. As a result, Sean and Charlotte O'Keefe's life consists of sleepless nights, mounting bills, humiliating pity from other parents, and obsessive thoughts about what if… What if Charlotte had known about her daughter's illness before her birth? What if everything had been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? And how valuable is each human life? And so, in a painful attempt to make ends meet to cover the expenses of her daughter's treatment, Charlotte decides on a desperate step. She sues her doctor for wrongful birth, who did not warn her in advance that the child would be born with a severe disability. In the case of a successful outcome, the monetary payouts could provide care for Willow for the rest of the girl's life. Charlotte faces a complex moral and ethical dilemma since the doctor she decides to sue is her best friend…
"Handle with Care" is a poignant novel that raises the issue of the value of human life and what we are willing to do to protect it.
