A Candle for Lisa
Lisa Ruskin was born prematurely with serious heart defects. As her mother Debbie recovered consciousness from the emergency Caesarean Section, she was pressed to give consent to switch off Lisa's life support machine.
She later learned that Lisa's organs had been retained by the hospital. In this sad but ultimately up-lifting book, Debbie tells of her fight to discover the truth about what happened to herself and Lisa, and of her own struggle to overcome her grief.
By sharing her moving story with other parents and with health professionals, Debbie hopes some good will come from Lisa's tragic death.
