My
Little Drummer Boy
is the unforgettable story of the tragic death
of the author's 12-year-old son, a death the author
later learned could have been prevented, if only
his doctors had realized the risk he was in...a
risk, she discovered, that was faced by hundreds
of other children every year.
Rebecca
Ellison Cole, an "ordinary housewife"
with no medical training, confronted the
entire medical establishment - from local
doctors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- to help put warning labels on certain
drugs and get approval for a chickenpox
vaccine. Calling upon her abiding faith
in God, Cole is relentless in perusing
her goal.

"This book is written
from the heart; the heart of a mother. Written simply
and directly, it tells an amazing story; one that
will move you - move you to sadness, to, ultimately
, admiration. It is a book written not only for
parents, or those who love children, but it is a
book for anyone who cares about people, about life
and about love.
Dr.
John Connolly, Co-publisher, "America's
Top Doctors"
"A moving account of a
courageous mother who acted constructively following
the death of her adored son from chickenpox. Her
efforts to publicize the varicella vaccine, which
was unlicensed by the FDA at the time, played
a crucial role in the ultimate acceptance of the
vaccine. Today this vaccine is routinely used
to prevent chickenpox and its complications. All
American parents and children are in her debt."
