Circle of Hope is the remarkable true story of one family that
gathered around a dying child to save her from a medical death
sentence. Originally published in 1981, the medical landscape has
changed in the intervening years, but this story of hope and
perseverance in the face of a medical death sentence endures. Jobi
Halper was eight years old when she came home from school one
autumn day with an aching knee. Three weeks later, a rare, lethal
form of bone cancer was diagnosed, and Jobi's leg was amputated.
The Halpers were told that the chances were 99 to 1 that the cancer
would kill the child they called "Sunshine." They were advised to
do nothing and above all to save themselves the agony of running
fruitlessly for other advice. But the Halpers did everything the
doctors told them not to do. The story Jobi's mother tells of the
year they spent fighting for their daughter's life is filled with
rage and joy. They researched new drugs and treatments, consulted
countless doctors, and finally sent Jobi with her mother to an
experimental cancer clinic in California where a unique combination
of chemotherapy and caring defeated her disease. The Halpers'
agonizing ordeal and ultimate victory over death offers glowing
proof that medical miracles do happen to those who seek them.
