A Promise to Akiko: A Mother's Notes Book

A promise to Akiko: A Mother's Notes is the heart-wrenching story of a mother's love for her daughter and how love sustains her, even as she watches her daughter die at the hands of stubborn, rude, and egotistic doctors. For years, quiet, young Akiko had had a few mysterious health problems, only to discover, at age 17, that it was a brain tumor that had caused weight gain, sight loss, and other painful symptoms. In what should have been a simple operation to remove the tumor, a handful of doctors made serious errors in judgement that their egos wouldn't allow them to admit, resulting in the death of Akiko Kunou.
