Roseville, CA (Vocus) June 26, 2010

Bringing fresh hope to every single bookshelf, author Yvonne Nunes invites readers to look into another angle of the remarkable story behind the most critical medical event in the twentieth century. One Little Miracle, her new book released through Xlibris, tells the inspiring accurate tale of the seven-year-old girl whose life was saved when she became a test case for penicillin.

The year is 1943. War is raging in the Pacific. Much more military personnel are dying from gas gangrene than from bullets. On one side of the world, Yvonne, a young girl, is also suffering from gas gangrene. Her doctor has carried out all he can do to save her life, which includes amputation, but absolutely nothing appears to assist anymore. What Yvonne wants is a miracle. The miracle suddenly becomes possible as the JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) appeals to doctors for cases to test penicillin. Of all the feasible patients, Yvonne is chosen to be the test case. But the mission is not as easy as it sounds.

Even though men and women all over the United States are trying to get penicillin to save her life, Yvonne is deep in a coma. But several do not know that in her deep slumber, she is enjoying a magical adventure with Genie. He is her guide to a world where every thing is probable and no is not a word. Their journey via hope, faith, and appreciation unfolds in 1 Small Miracle. Supplying an in-depth background of Alexander Fleming’s most famous discovery, this book is a heartrending yet extremely motivating true story about life and second chances.
