Book excerpt: 50% of royalties will be donated to the Clinic for Special Children---------------------------------------------------------The legend of King Arthur is one of courage, valor, and loyalty; it is a story of heroic actions in the face of extraordinary odds. Sweet Odyssey tells a similar tale, but with one important exception. It is true. Its main protagonists, young "King" Artur Santos and his father Idario, are real-life heroes; made of flesh and blood. In Sweet Odyssey, you will learn that the challenges faced by the mythical King Arthur pale in comparison to those overcome by one courageous young boy and his family. Sweet Odyssey will teach you how real heroes think and act, drawing on deep reserves of integrity, resourcefulness, and perseverance in the face of almost unimaginable obstacles. Perhaps more importantly, A Sweet Odyssey will teach you something about love...By: Kevin A. Strauss, who earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School, is medical director of the Clinic for Special Children in Strasburg, PA---------------------------------------------------------While traveling this odyssey, Idario lost all his property, wealth, job, and became deeply indebted to many people, but he never waivered from his mission or faith. The reader learns that life's struggles require an enormous amount of faith and perseverance to perhaps achieve success - no guarantee, but certainly one gains greater strength for future challenges. I strongly recommend this book to all parents, grandparents, newborn screeners, and healthcare professionals as a must read!!By: William Harry Hannon, PhD; Independent Consultant and Retired Chief, Newborn Screening Branch and Founder, Newborn Screening Quality Assurance Program (NSQAP); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
