Women Who Take Your Breath Away: The Leslie Petrone Story

By Julie Torres-Johnson Ph.D

This is the inspiring, heartwarming story of a mother and daughter’s 50-year journey through the world of cystic fibrosis. Leslie’s medical prognosis was that she wouldn’t live to be seven. Although people with gene-based diseases don’t have spontaneous remissions, Leslie had one. And, despite the odds, she lived a fully functioning life to the age of fifty.
