Publisher's summary

When her daughter desperately needed a lung transplant to survive, Janet Murnaghan rallied against the outdated restrictions in health care that would limit her daughter's options.

Sarah had been dying of cystic fibrosis since the day she was born. The disease quickly ravaged her lungs and little body bit-by-bit. Fragile and frail, she had only weeks to live, when her mom realized the reality of Sarah's situation: Transplant laws, restricting access to lungs based on arbitrary age restrictions, meant Sarah's options were limited. The injustice of her daughter's fate spurred Janet to start a public battle against outdated health-care regulations and a battle to save Sarah's life.

Janet transformed her pain and desperation into a voice for Sarah and other kids using social media to broadcast the unfairness that was robbing Sarah of her right to life with the help of friends and family who emerged as Sarah's army. How does a family navigate catastrophic illness and life in a hospital while still maintaining a sense of normalcy?

Saving Sarah is a story of hope, courage, and a mother's determination to never give up. It's also the story of how a family - Janet and her husband, Fran, have four other children - reacts and adjusts when one of its members is in ongoing crisis.
