Profit Loss and Miracles

Zelphoe Gabrielle Maloney,...

Profit, Loss, and Miracles is the riveting true story of a woman who rose from her deathbed to wage a courageous legal war against a corrupt insurance giant and its allies within state government. It is a chronicle of a multi-billion-dollar machine that tried to silence her family—and the astonishing power of ordinary people who refused to be broken. 
Those who stood with Gabby—whistleblowers in government, medical heroes, fearless attorneys, a dogged journalist, and even an American icon—paid a steep price. Reputations were destroyed. Careers were threatened. Some defenders of the system were rewarded handsomely for their compliance. 
But among the unexpected champions was Frank Borman II, Commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to orbit the Moon. Gabby and her husband had never met him. Yet through a remarkable twist of fate, this legendary astronaut helped make her life-saving transplant possible. 
With key figures now gone, the full story—once too dangerous to tell—can finally be revealed. 
In the tradition of A Civil Action and Erin Brockovich, Profit, Loss, and Miracles is a powerful, inspiring narrative of courage vs. corruption, family vs. bureaucracy, and the breathtaking moment when justice triumphs over greed.
