""Jo, you have to tell people what they've done to me. You have to tell them "" pleaded her little brother, as he lay writhing in agony.
In "For the Love of Scott ," the author recollects her family's poignant story of love, bewilderment, and lingering frustration when faced with catastrophic medical mistakes. Read the experiences of Scott Hamilton's family members as they struggle through a storm of horrific medical errors that could have been prevented and recognize what you need to do when someone you love is faced with life-threatening circumstances created by health experts.
It took Jo 27 years to put this heartbreaking event down on paper. Writing opened old wounds and required hours of research and documentation. It forced her family to relive a chapter in their own lives that they desperately wanted closed. Yet, they rallied together to help Jo with her mission to keep that promise.
To help further her goals, Jo Hamilton will be donating aportion of the proceeds from the sale of her book, to the 1984 Olympic Gold Medal Winner, Scott Hamilton's foundation, The Scott Hamilton CARES Initiative. The Scott Hamilton CARES Initiative was created to help with cancer research, support cancer patients and their families, and find a cure cancer.

Critical Reviews
Author Jo Hamilton promised her brother that she would tell his tragic story. She summoned the strength, faithfully stepped up to the plate and hit a home run on his behalf. Enlightening and moving, "For the Love of Scott " is a cry from the heart for greater compassion and attentive listening in the practice of medicine.

Dear Scott:
I, too, am a farm boy. I, just like you, played in the cornfields. I too, remember milking the cows, feeding the pigs, and riding my dad's motorcycle and yet, being from a different part of the world, (Europe) Portugal. We have so much in common, physically and spiritually. However, you more then I, have a story to tell and a lesson to teach all of us. May you, Scott, through the writings of these pages educate us, enrich our lives and our Spirits, and at last we meet again, I hope that you, Scott, are among us.
