A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist journeys into the life of Sam Lightner, a young boy born with a rare, disfiguring growth that distorts the left side of his face, from the dangerous operation to remove the malformation, to his lapse into a life-threatening coma, to his struggle back to life, in a poignant true story about a remarkable boy, medical miracles, and the meaning of hope. 75,000 first printing.
