Ward 402 is a triumphant exposition of the human will.” —Newsday “Ward 402 is a powerful documentary novel which plunges you into the midst of a medical and moral dilemma—a dilemma that centers around one of the most memorable youngsters in literature.” —Literary Guild Magazine “Dr. Glasser can describe a medical emergency in a way that makes the entire scene spring to life. . . . This is good and exciting writing.” —The New York Times Book Review
