In this powerful memoir of maternal instinct and unwavering determination, Anna Chambers takes readers on an extraordinary journey through unimaginable loss, medical mystery, and the fight to save her daughter's life.
After losing her military pilot husband in a tragic accident, Anna rebuilds a life for herself and her three children, including two daughters born deaf with Usher syndrome. But when her teenage daughter Ava begins experiencing unexplained symptoms that leave her debilitated and wheelchair-bound, Anna faces a new battle against a medical system unwilling to look beyond symptoms to find root causes.
Dismissed by countless specialists and even subjected to harmful treatments at a pain management clinic, Ava continues to deteriorate while Anna's maternal instinct screams that something is terribly wrong. Drawing on fierce love and relentless determination, Anna embarks on a detective-like mission to uncover the environmental toxins slowly poisoning her daughter.
Saving Ava is both a heartbreaking and ultimately triumphant tale of a mother's fight against institutional failures, medical gaslighting, and political agendas to save her child. It's an unflinching look at how money and power can corrupt healthcare and a testament to the extraordinary lengths a mother will go to save her child. This urgent wake-up call reveals how one woman's refusal to be silenced led to answers, healing, and hope.
If you enjoyed Brain on Fire, The Still Point of the Turning World, and When Breath Becomes Air, you'll love Saving Ava.
