Product Details

Praise

“This is a wonderful story. . . . If a disease was killing your child, would you have another baby to try to save that child’s life? And if you did, would you fear that the new child’s life might be in danger as well? These are some of the very difficult questions that Stacy and Steve Trebing asked themselves before Stacy gave birth to another child, a little boy, who helped their daughter who might otherwise have died. Their story is chronicled in The Match.”—Barbara Walters, The View
 
The Match is a thought-provoking, extremely well-researched, and deeply personal account of one of the most controversial ethical dilemmas of our time. . . . A great story, and a remarkable work of journalism.”—Rachel Simon, author of Riding the Bus with My Sister
 
“The Match is a riveting, vividly written tale of what happens when two powerful forces—parental love and modern science—converge to try to help a very brave child through the deliberate conception of another.”—Liza Mundy, author of Everything Conceivable
