The Golden Age
This book opened my eyes to the devastation polio had on the world around World War II. It certainly silenced any debate I've ever had about vaccinating my own children.
In this book, you will be transported to a children's polio ward in Australia and witness the love affair of two of its patients—a good reminder that young love is no weaker than adult love, and that many beautiful discoveries can be uncovered under the most unfortunate circumstances.
