Because I Knew You tells the stories of children facing life-threatening illness, from babies diagnosed before birth all the way through adolescence. They and their parents face incredible challenges with immense courage and devotion, inspiring doctors like Bob Macauley and showing them how much they have left to learn. For Bob, though, the work is personal: having survived abuse as a child, he dedicated his life to making sure that no other child hurt the way he did. After growing up in a world where people did things no one ever should, he found a home among people who loved more deeply than he thought anyone ever could.
