I am reviewing a copy of Praying For Emily through FaithWorks/Worthy Books and Netgalley:





Tom and Karl Whitehead’s works was shattered when their five year old daughter Emily was diagnosed with Leukemia.  They were going to do whatever it took to help their daughter, and as they made decisions about how to best treat her.  





Tom found that his faith came to him in whispers, guiding his decisions and keeping his hope alive, while Kari placed great faith in science and the doctors surrounding her little girl. But as Emily's condition continued to worsen, they both prayed for a miracle.





Their miracle arrived in the form of an experimental treatment called CAR-T cell therapy that, against all odds, saved Emily's life.   Due to Emily’s remarkable and miraculous recovery this treatment is now used widely to treat cancer and has gone on to save hundreds of lives and promises to help thousands more. For all the acclaim and attention this important new approach to treating cancer has received, few know the full story of all it took to make this miracle happen.





Praying for Emily is a story of belief, resilience, and support that got them through the most difficult time of their lives.  





I give Praying for Emily five out of five stars!





Happy Reading!
