A young, special-needs girl, the daughter of a beloved pediatrician, is dangerously infected with pertussis by the child of a local philanthropist and his zealous anti-vaxxer wife. The community comes to a boil as the two opposing camps face off, trying to reach an understanding without sacrificing their long-held and deeply felt principles.
Acquired immunity explores this timely issue with perceptiveness and sensitivity, and leaves the reader moved, informed, and inspired.
By Miriam Luxenberg, author of Not Easily Severed, The Exchange, Victory Garden, and many other popular novels.
