Sickle Cell Disease is the most common blood disorder in the U.S. Hope & Destiny provides clear-cut and in-depth information for the more than 80,000 Americans living with sickle cell disease. Written especially for parents and caregivers, it offers the latest information on preventing complications, research, and treatment. The knowledge patients and family members need is organized in an easy-to-read format that promotes overall healthy living. "...covers an extensive array of topics and explains them in comprehensible terms." -- National Pain Foundation Book Review "Our families really appreciate this book!" -- Rachelle Nuss, M.D., Colorado Sickle Cell Treatment and Research Center "This is a marvelous piece of work. I think it will be a tremendous asset to sickle cell resource libraries. More importantly, it has put into one volume information that is usually spread over many publications -- and in terminology the lay person can read and understand, yet also be meaningful for healthcare providers as well." -- Louise Dorn, R.N., Sickle Cell Center, University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago
