Produktbeschreibung
A single moment has the power to change any life, forever. This is a story about what happens next. On 1st March 1999, Dom Frawley was a rural GP, providing medical care to a few hundred families through a small cottage practice. He and his wife Maggie were due to deliver their fourth child any day. Dom worked daily with people at their most vulnerable: sick, powerless, and often fearful or distressed. His job was to help carry them through. By nightfall on 2nd March, Dom and Maggie were the ones needing help. Their newborn child was critically ill with a major heart defect and was flown by helicopter to an intensive care unit in Sydney. The baby's life rested in the hands of Dom's former colleagues. Fear for the future stalked enjoyment of the present. Drawing on Maggie's love, his passion for philosophy and innate optimism, Dom navigated a slow path to equilibrium. A deep father-son bond developed, enriching the lives of both. Malachy explores the bond of love between a parent and their child. A reminder of how treasured and important all children are. It is also a story about living with the agony of loss: what it means to love and be loved, to stare down hostile fate with a sense of humour, and to embrace life with courage and resilience.
