Bag om I'll Stand by You: One Woman's Mission to Heal the Children of the World

"This may be the book that changes your life."-Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men Are Gone"The saint of Staten Island" (People magazine) shares the inspirational story of how she's changing the world, one child at a time.Over a decade ago, Elissa Montanti was reeling from the loss of several loved ones when she decided to work past her grief by collecting school supplies for Bosnian children. Then a U.N. ambassador showed her a photo of Kenan, a young boy who had lost both arms and one leg to a landmine.Elissa invited Kenan and his mother into her home, arranging free airfare, prosthetics, and medical care. Operating out of her apartment's walk-in closet, Elissa's Global Medical Relief Fund has since helped more than one hundred and fifty children from twenty-two countries injured in war zones and natural disasters around the world. I'll Stand by You recounts Elissa's remarkable story and how-in helping these children-she healed herself.
