When Evan Schwarz was born, his mother, Elise, felt her life was complete. She had her own New York apartment, a brilliant career and a beautiful baby boy. But all that was thrown into turmoil when her only son was found to be the victim of shaken baby syndrome. The perpetrator - the babysitter with whom Elise had entrusted his care. In the agonising weeks and months that followed, she found herself taking on both the New York DA's office and a medical establishment that seemed anxious to terminate Evan's prospects as swiftly as possible. With a great support network of friends and family, Elise had the resilience to fight like a tigress for her son in order to prevent his short life being extinguished prematurely. This moving and compelling account, told in diary form, is a testament to a mother's unbending love and unflinching belief in her child.
