If you know someone with kidney disease, or you're one of the millions of people who are at risk, then this book is for you. "Stolen Youth: My Daughter's Battle with Kidney Disease" is a riveting, sometimes harrowing account of a family's year-long ordeal, starting with their 15-year old daughter's initial symptoms and almost-too-late diagnosis. Both Kristen and her father describe the emotional journey their family went through, as well as the invaluable lessons they learned along the way.Their story is also a perfect example of what's right with the Canadian healthcare system. When Kristen and her family were at their most vulnerable, a framework was in place that allowed hospital staff and specialists to concentrate on saving her life and restoring her health, instead of who would pay for it. At a time when many people are asking whether our system is working, this story responds with a resounding "YES"
