...from the trivial to the traumatic with breezy assurance. One week Brenda's big problem is a stray mutt she has brought home that keeps the family awake with its barking. The next week she has to pay her first visit to a gynecologist when she thinks she is pregnant. Call it "After School Special Lite...
...marshes in Pin Point, Ga., a segregated enclave without paved streets or sewers. His mother Leola Williams, only 18 when he was born, already had an infant daughter. When Thomas was two, his father walked out on the family, heading to Philadelphia in search of a better life. Pregnant with a third child, Thomas' mother lived in a dirt-floor one-room shack that belonged to an aunt and went to work at the factory next door, picking crabmeat for 5 cents per lb.

The couple gained a healthy baby, Audrey, but she was an unsuitable donor. Within 12 weeks, Lea Ann was again pregnant, this time with Emily, whose tissue proved compatible. So doctors collected and stored the blood from Emily's umbilical cord -- blood rich in stem cells. Twenty months after Emily's birth, the cord blood was transplanted into her sister, then...
