Now Rachel's surgical skills are twelve-year-old Craig's only hope for a normal life. His mother Eve holds a deep distrust of doctors, and her son is all she has. Reluctantly, she agrees for the operation to go ahead. But surgery is never predictable, nor is a devastated mother's terrifying reaction. Eve, it seems, wants a life for a life...
