A Miracle for Maggie - Hume, Stephen Eaton

Clean, tight, unmarked; wear to corners; several corners turned; otherwise appears unread; Maggie Davis is a young girl who lives in Chester, NS, in the early 1920s when her beloved Uncle Nick is killed by diabetes. Maggie's father, who is a doctor, is greatly saddened by his brother's death, and soon has to deal with his own daughter's diagnosis with the dread disease. Various remedies are tried but nothing works and Maggie's condition worsens. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Banting and other doctors work night and day to perfect insulin. This poignant novel brings the world of post-WWI Canada vividly to life and presents a tale of nail-biting drama that tugs at the heart and allows readers to identify with the plight of one girl's fight to survive against all odds.
