In 2008, cosmetics entrepreneur Victoria Jackson faced every mother’s worst nightmare when her 14-year-old daughter Ali was diagnosed with NMO, a rare autoimmune disease—often misdiagnosed as MS—and was given less than six years to live.

That story, as narrated by mother and daughter in Saving Each Other tells not only how a death sentence was turned into treatable illness but also how a “rare approach to a rare disease” holds life-saving promise for us all.
