Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I have always been inspired by people that are willing to make a stand for what they believe in . on November 9, 1995, the doctors at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, CANADA, told me that my daughter's bone marrow had stopped producing blood. She would need on-going transfusions to stay alive. I am a Jehovah's Witness and accept the command in the Bible that prohibits the use of blood. My Search for a Clean Bill of Health starts in Canada, takes me into the United States, then on to Europe and most recently now to the Middle East. I have come to understand through my experience that courage is in fact the conquest of fear, not the absence of fear."
