I believe in Evan : my fight to save my baby from a devastating brain injury and the forces against us
Schwarz, Elise2016
Book
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.
