Synopsis

How far would you go to stand up for your child?

In 1999 Jane Raca's son James was born 15 weeks prematurely and with severe brain damage. Saving his life was just the beginning of the family's struggle with the devastating effects of James's disabilities and a care system that consistently failed them.

With unflinching candour and wry humour, lawyer Jane Raca writes about the bewildering new world she found herself in and the legal battle that finally gave her son the chance of a meaningful life.
