Walter Duncan is a surgeon devoted to his work who barely has time for Simone, his eleven-year-old daughter. When the girl is diagnosed with leukaemia, the doctor who has dedicated his life to saving other people's children faces the hardest test: deciding whether to keep trusting science or fight like a desperate father.

For readers of medical novels and family dramas, with the focus on the dilemma between professional vocation and family life.
