In a small town in New Hampshire, there lives what seems to be the most ordinary family: a dad, a mom, and two daughters. Unfortunately, the youngest daughter, five-year-old Willow, suffers from a rare genetic disorder, and any careless movement could lead to a fracture. Therefore, Sean and Charlotte O'Keefe's life consists of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the humiliating pity of other parents, and obsessive thoughts about what if... What if Charlotte had known about her daughter's illness before her birth? What if everything was different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? And how valuable is every human life? In a desperate attempt to make ends meet to cover their daughter's treatment expenses, Charlotte decides to take a drastic step. She files a lawsuit for wrongful birth against her doctor, who did not warn her in advance that the child would be born with a severe disability. If the case is successful, the financial compensation could provide care for Willow for the rest of the girl's life. Charlotte faces a complex moral and ethical dilemma, as the doctor she is suing is her best friend... "Handle with Care" is a gripping novel that raises the issue of the value of human life and what we are willing to do to protect it.
