520    "Growing up as the daughter of a dedicated surgeon, 
       Elizabeth L. Silver felt an unquestioned faith in 
       medicine. When her six-week-old daughter, Abby, was rushed
       to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with sudden seizures, 
       and scans revealed a serious brain bleed, her relationship
       to medicine began to change. The Tincture of Time is 
       Silver's gorgeous and haunting chronicle of Abby's first 
       year. It's a year of unending tests, doctors' opinions, 
       sleepless nights, promising signs and steps backward, and 
       above all, uncertainty : The mysterious circumstances of 
       Abby's hospitalization attract dozens of specialists, none
       of whom can offer a conclusive answer about what went 
       wrong or what the future holds. As Silver explores what it
       means to cope with uncertainty as a patient and parent and
       seeks peace in the reality that Abby's injury may never be
       fully understood, she looks beyond her own story for 
       comfort, probing literature and religion, examining the 
       practice of medicine throughout history, and reporting the
       experiences of doctors, patients, and fellow caretakers. 
       The result is a brilliant blend of personal narrative and 
       cultural analysis, at once a poignant snapshot of a 
       parent's struggle and a wise meditation on the reality of 
       uncertainty, in and out of medicine, and the hard-won 
       truth that time is often its only cure. Heart-wrenching, 
       unflinchingly honest, and beautifully written, The 
       Tincture of Time is a powerful story of parenthood, an 
       astute investigation of the boundaries of medicine, and an
       inspiring reminder of life's precariousness"--|cProvided
