I
have found this book very difficult to read, because it is so well written. It is the subject of the book that has gripped me by the throat and made
breathing difficult. Eve Hillary is a masterful storyteller and
this book is a fine tribute to a courageous girl and her family and a powerful condemnation of professional
incompetence and negligence, unethical behaviour and bureaucratic
excesses.
Sarah died, aged thirteen, on 25 October 2004, the victim of a system which was originally
set up to support children like her. It is arguable that the
system hastened her death. It is not arguable that the system utterly failed her and her family...continue

Sarah’s Last Wish: A Chilling Glimpse into Forced Medicine
By Eve Hillary
This is a chilling story of one family’s scary journey through the minefield of government red tape
and an inflexible medical system. You will taste the frustration of the family and you will love Sarah –
their brave daughter – and you will learn so much about living with a life threatening illness, rather than
dying with cancer. This must NEVER happen again in Australia or anywhere in the world. A must read. In book
stores now.

Sarah’s Last Wish by Eve
Hillary
Reading Sarah’s Last Wish has
been an unforgettable experience for
me. It is as the author describes “A
chilling glimpse into forced
medicine”.
This book invoked
feelings in me that I find hard to
describe.
The injustices done here were
appalling.
Reader's
Feedback
--- 'On my wife's urging I read Sarah's Last Wish. I started it late one night,
thinking I would make her happy and read a few pages until I fell asleep. How wrong I was. It read like a medical
thriller and I couldn't put it down. It certainly changed my attitude and no doubt its sheer power and scope will
bring about positive changes to a western healthcare system in urgent need of reform.'
John Ainsworth, London UK
---'I never knew there was such a thing as forced medicine and forced
surgery until I read this book. If Sarah's wish came true, it would be a better world. No doubt about
it. If anything could get people motivated to work together to improve health care, then this book would be
it.'
