Forward Excerpt
“The most powerful moment happened when the women of the community – the “mamas” – greeted Sharon with warm embraces. In a place where fifty-five babies of every one thousand do not survive past age one, they knew the feeling of loosing a child. They held her hands and cried with her, welcoming her as part of their family. It was sad and beautiful all at once, like Maddie’s life itself.
Maddie’s spirit lives on in that school, and in the students who will graduate and do great things for their community and their country. In long term, thousands more children will live because of what Maddie did before she died, at fifteen.”
