About

Discover the incredible true story of Emily Whitehead, the first child to receive CAR-T cancer cell treatment for her leukemia -- and learn how her family's faith journey guided them in the fight for her life.



Before Emily Whitehead became a medical trailblazer through the CAR-T Cell treatment, she was a child with leukemia whose parents vowed to do what was best for her. This meant defying doctors' recommendations and changing hospitals not once but 3 times as her parents courageously struggled to find uneven ground between faith and science.

Told from a father's point of view, readers will go behind the scenes to better understand:
• The faith required of both parents when a child is diagnosed with cancer.
• How a family navigates uncertain medical options.
• The strength of one little girl determined to get better.
• How survivors' stories offer hope to others facing similar health battles.Discover inspiration in hardship as you follow the journey of the Whitehead family, which eventually led them to the CAR-T Cell treatment and a strong community they both inspire and support.
