Desperate Choices: To Save My Child

Cassie Robbins is a sixteen-year-old girl who is close to her father, Richard, and stepmother, Mel, and dotes on her six-year-old half-brother, Willy. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she is diagnosed with leukemia, and her only chance of a cure is a bone-marrow transplant. Willy is identified as a potential match, but Mel is reluctant to allow him to undergo surgery due to a previous near-fatal reaction to anesthesia. The situation forces Richard and Mel to confront the difficult decision of whether to risk one child's life to save the other's, while also considering Willy's own rights in choosing whether to help his sister, whom he greatly admires.
