So I was looking for a human being, a real person, to begin the book with, to pin the book down on.

And I knew that there must have been a first child.

who received chemotherapy for, in this case, leukemia, children's leukemia.

And I kept searching for that child.

I kept looking for that child.

Ultimately, after a very long and circuitous journey, which took me actually from

the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, back to India, back again, I ultimately found the name of this child.

The name was buried in a newspaper clipping, which was in microfiche.

You know, it was not searchable.

You couldn't have found it anyway.

So I found the name of this child.

And then, you know, I went to the home of this child.

I learned about the child's family and his name was Robert Sandler.

And that's how the book came about.

Well, lots of things have happened since the book first came out in 2010.

And so 15 years had passed.

And it seemed to me that it needed an update.

Now, it's a funny thing.

As you know, people don't tend to ever green their books.

Right.
