Alice Maddocks was a clever, healthy and pretty seven-year-old without a care in the world until the day she fell over in a friend's garden. Her parents, Carol and Dean, could not stop the flow of blood from her tiny cut and Alice was soon diagnosed with a rare kind of anaemia. Warned that she could expect only a short life unless a bone marrow donor of exactly the right match could be found, her parents began a frantic search, enlisting the help of Tony Blair, Sir Alex Ferguson, Prince Charles and S Club Seven. For the Love of Alice is an amazing up-to-the-minute account of courage and determination in the face of appalling odds.
