About this listen

 Without a medical miracle, Orlando Asala will die.

Pediatrician Vickie Marsh is determined to do everything in her power to save the five-year-old's life before he is released from the hospital and sent back to the migrant camp where his parents, who are seeking political asylum from the civil war in Colombia, are living in squalor. With kidney cancer, his fate will be sealed before he's wheeled out the hospital door. Orlando’s only hope is an experimental treatment developed by Doctor Zachary Scott.

The only problem...Zack no longer works at the hospital, having quit his practice under bitter circumstances, and now teaches paragliding lessons. The one way Vickie can reach him is to sign up for a series of classes. While Vickie can certainly use a hobby to enliven her work-filled life, she has been warned that Zack has an axe to grind with the hospital and might not be willing to cooperate with her. Vickie sees this as a challenge, not an impediment, and forges ahead with a plan to convince the reluctant doctor to share his formula with her.

Under pressure to spare one child’s life, and perhaps save others, Vickie soldiers on in the face of growing resistance from the hospital administration...and from Zack. While there's a lot at stake, Vickie doubts she can convince Zack in time to save Orlando's life.

More Research Needed

The author lacks a basic understanding of paragliders and how they fly. I respect the storytelling and admire the creativity. Real Paraglider pilots are going to be turned off by the incorrect assumptions and actions that break the laws of physics.
A Paraglider always flies at a certain speed through the air which it is in, although the air itself might be moving.
You can never wet your finger and test the air direction while flying. And there’s nothing you can do to save another pilot in trouble while you are flying. Any contact with another pilot would be extremely dangerous if not impossible. I could go on and on.
I don’t mean to be cruel or unfair, but I was looking for books with realistic paragliding. I will keep looking.
