About the book

Beth Whitehouse details Stacy and Steve Trebing's decision to create a baby selected as an embryo that was a genetic match for their child suffering from Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a fatal disease that prevents bone marrow from producing red blood cells. She describes their journey from their daughter's diagnosis, to the baby's conception, to the bone marrow transplant that saved their daughter's life, also discussing the ethical issues involved with "savior siblings."
