This book is a story about a little boy named Leon, who was born with a severe form of brittle bone disease. His parents, still very young, were almost driven to despair in their attempt to bring Leon home after nearly two years in the hospital. Due to the various typical health-related issues Leon faced, and especially because of the small manipulations between the hospitals and the parents, his discharge was increasingly postponed. The hospitals also suggested to the parents, due to supposed incompetencies, that they should place Leon in a care facility. Only a lawyer could mediate the situation.
