PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Elaine DePrince, a former special education teacher, was the mother of eleven - two biological sons and nine adopted children. After losing her three youngest sons with hemophilia to AIDS transmitted by blood products, DePrince wrote Cry Bloody Murder: A Tale of Tainted Blood (Random House, 1997), an adult non-fiction/memoir written at the request of the U.S. Senate. Cry Bloody Murder had a profound effect on the passage of laws that made blood transfusions safer in our country. She now focuses on young adult memoirs and novels and has written several of them.
