Reviews for A Cure For Emma: One Mother's Journey to Oz

"""From one mother warrior to another, I have deep respect and compassion for Julie's brave and loving journey in search of a cure for her daughter, Emma. There is nothing more powerful than mommy intuition and perseverance as one travels down this difficult, uncharted road. I commend Julie for her tenacity and dedication."" - Jenny McCarthy, comedian, actress, model, author, activist ""Nothing touches us more meaningfully than the story of a parent's care for a child in need. As the father of a diabetic, I understand Julie's roller coaster of despair, frustration, and hope. The love we feel for our kids is unlike any other emotion in the human spectrum, and capturing it in prose is an art."" - Alan Thicke, actor, songwriter, game and talk-show host ""Thank you, Julie, for your contribution towards our shared goal to find a cure for our children. I look forward to the day all T1 families can celebrate the successful outcome of this goal."" - Denise Jonas, mother of Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, musician, actor ""The Faustman Lab is proud to support Julie Colvin and her ongoing efforts to raise awareness about type 1 diabetes. This is a disease, which demands constant vigilance and determination on the part of diabetics and their families. Our hope is that this book will shed light on the issues surrounding this disease, and facilitate the advancement of a cure."" - Dr. Denise Faustman, Director Immunobiology Laboratory, Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School ""I cried. I laughed. I didn't want the ride to end. This book blows the dust off our hearts, showing us how to see our past with more clarity and move forward with renewed faith and purpose. Truly a life-transforming, courageous, and inspiring journey."" - Linda Sivertsen, award-winning & NYT bestselling co-author, magazine editor, environmentalist"
