| Summary |
"How far will a mother's love go? A touching story of solidarity, courage and survival against all odds. Four women meet in the pediatric ICU of a hospital. Each one of them carries the baggage, joys, disappointments, silence and secrets that form the canvas of life. Three of them are known from other stays in the hospital, they are in charge of children suffering from chronic diseases that force them into continual hospital admissions, they are mothers of the ICU. The fourth, Carmen, appears one night in the ER. Her daughter is [in a ] very serious condition after she has been run over by a car whose driver has escaped. This hard blow will test her marriage and beliefs, will make the reader discover that love can be lonely and that silence hurts. In the time of this long hospital stay, the four women will weave invisible threads of solidarity: they will laugh, they will cry, they will fight, they will live, they will share the weight of their solitudes. And together they will face the most difficult decision for Carmen. Because when you first enter the hospital door, you always leave behind some of the happiness you bring." -- Amazon.com |
