"There has never been a craze like Beanie Babies. The $5 beanbag animals with names like Seaweed the Otter and Gigi the Poodle drove a large swath of America into a greed-fueled frenzy as they chased the rarest Beanie Babies, whose values escalated weekly in the late 1990s. Just as strange as the mass hysteria was the man behind it. Sometimes called the "Steve Jobs of plush" by his employees, he obsessed over every detail of every animal his company ever released. He had no marketing budget and no connections, but he had something more valuable - an intuitive grasp of human psychology that would make him the richest man in the history of toys. The Great Beanie Baby Bubble is a classic American story of people winning and losing vast fortunes chasing what one dealer remembers as "the most spectacular dream ever sold.""--Back cover.

Longshot to a Miracle tells the true story of eleven-year-old Kassie Arner and her two-month fight for her life against a very fast-moving aggressive illness while at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. This story will immerse and carry you through every situation as it happens, at times leaving you emotionally drained and exhausted, while at other times exhilarated. You’ll find yourself battling right alongside the Arners as they and the medical professionals do everything possible to save Kassie. You’ll witness the actual prayers as they’re being made. You’ll feel the excruciating sense of helplessness that could only be endured, not remedied. You’ll be filled with love and witness salvation in a way that only faith allows. Longshot to a Miracle relates how all parties worked with each other in an attempt to achieve the best possible outcome. It shows the lengths the doctors and nurses went through and their willingness to think outside the box. You’ll feel the depth of each life and death decision as they happen, pushing the medical envelope, using heroic efforts never before done. Even though Kassie had only the tiniest of chances to survive, you’ll see their willingness to give young Kassie, so full of life and potential, their all. It is raw emotion tied to innocence; it is heartache shackled to guilt. It is a battle against the inevitable, it is “Life’s Not Fair” at its ultimate, leaving you wanting for more with each new chapter. Longshot to a Miracle is a rollercoaster of a story that will allow you to venture to the bottom of human despair and witness the choice to have hope against all odds in a world where sometimes there is none.
