Best-selling author Pia de Jong's vivid memoir about her newborn daughter's battle with leukemia and the startling decision that led to her recovery.
When her newborn daughter Charlotte is diagnosed with a rare and deadly leukemia, Pia and her husband make a momentous decision: they reject potentially devastating chemotherapy and instead choose to "wait for what will come". As the following year unfolds, Pia enters a disorienting world of doctors, medical procedures and a colourful cast of neighbours and protectors. Her seventeenth-century Amsterdam canal house becomes her inner sanctum, a private "cocoon" where she sweeps away distractions in order to give Charlotte the unfiltered love and strength she needs. Pia's instinctive decision, now known as "watchful waiting", has become the standard medical protocol for Charlotte's type of leukemia.
This deeply felt memoir reveals the galvanizing impact one child can have on a family, a neighbourhood and a worldwide medical community. Vivid and immersive, Saving Charlotte is also a portrait of one woman's brave voyage of love, hope and, in its inspiring climax, self-discovery.
