Hello,
Amanda had Patent ductus arteriosus in which a blood vessel fails to close normally in an infant soon after birth. No available treatment at the time so Brianna and Roger were forced to go back to present time.
Diana, Love your books and can’t wait to read your latest.

Briana and Roger go forward to future in order to enable them to have life-saving surgery on their daughter Amanda’s heart.
