IT ALL RESTS ON A STORY. THIS IS ONE YOU WON'T FORGET.

In these pages, Dr Suzanne Crowe opens the doors to a world few ever see: the charged and fragile realm of paediatric intensive care. From her earliest days as a junior doctor to becoming one of Ireland's leading specialists, she shares extraordinary stories of the children she's treated, the families who've loved them and the moments when life hung by a thread.

But this is not only a book about medicine. It is about how the healing begins with a doctor bearing witness and being present. It is about what it means to offer hope when certainty is gone. At its heart lies the searing personal loss of Suzanne's own child, Beatrice - a grief that reshaped her as a doctor and as a person.

Written with honesty and a clinician's eye for detail, this is a story of deep compassion and unflinching truth. At a time of turmoil for children's medicine in Ireland, we are reminded that the real work lies not just in saving lives, but in holding space for them - with courage, humility and love. A profoundly human memoir from a doctor whose work has touched many lives.
