Sandra Berenbaum (right) and Dorothy Kupcha Leland (left) have first-hand experience with the burdens faced by families coping with tick-borne illness. "Lyme disease affects the whole family, not just the person who is ill," they say. The authors hope this book will help parents and their children find a path to healing.
