Amanda's Gift: One Family's Journey through the Maze of Serious Childhood Illness

A guide for parents with seriously ill children. A review of the emotional and financial impact of a child's seven-year fight with cancer and other illness, including a liver transplant. A detailed summary of the health care system will help enlighten many parents who are unfamiliar with the complexities of insurance companies and large hospital networks. Amanda's Gift touches on all areas of life as a caregiver, including the impact on faith and marriage. While this is especially important for parents with ill children, it is also helpful for anyone with an illness, or in a caregiver situation.
Scott MacLellan is a first-time author who writes from his heart as he watches his daughter waste away from two aggressive bouts with cancer. As the president of a large Atlanta-based business, Scott is more accustomed to the rigors of the business world. But when his daughter fights for her life, he writes from a more emotional perspective of a father desperate to save his child. Scott is also a published poet and is quoted in several health care and related trade periodicals.
