“The Power of Will” is a five-part serial narrative about the parents of an infant boy stricken with a savage cancer with no cure and a research physician dedicated to finding a treatment to save him. Against all odds, they succeed. The boy’s cancer is reversed. With a drug that shows incredible promise, they refine the research and fight to bring the drug to as many children as they can, coming up against obstacles including the FDA and a pharmaceutical company that takes an interest in the drug and tries to thwart them, ultimately cutting off their supply. With stockpiles of the drug running low and children’s lives in the balance, they gamble on a long shot- secretly starting their own drug company to manufacture their own supply. On this tense and suspenseful journey, readers see cracks and flaws in a system that all but overlooks pediatric cancer.
