Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Crippled Children's Hospital, 1920
The parents, too, have grasped this fundamental idea. I have seen a mother steal quietly up to where her dear one lay, peer through the screen at him and then hurry away with tear-stained cheek, fearful lest the sight of her would make him, for the mo ment, unhappy. I have seen a father, after a week of hard toil, sit by the bedside of his little girl for hours to keep her company. I have seen another mother with the finger of the dread angel already pointed at her, kiss her son good-bye, and without a hint of the future walk away from him forever, lest the knowledge would, even for a moment, retard his recovery.
