Thalidomide, was hailed as a "wonder drug" that provided a "safe, sound sleep". Thalidomide was a sedative that was found to be effective when given to pregnant women to combat many of the symptoms associated with morning sickness. The drug was tested on animals. When given to pregnant women, thalidomide was a catastrophic drug with tragic side effects. It caused startling birth malformations, and death to babies. Birth defects included: deafness, blindness, disfigurement, cleft palate, and phocomelia (short limbs). The FDA did not approve thalidomide in the United States. Around the world, in the late 1960's and into the early 1970's, the victims of the drug thalidomide and their families entered into class action legal suits against the various drug companies who manufactured and/or distributed the drug. This book tells the story of thalidomide in Great Britain and how the parents overcame the formidable obstacles placed in their way to secure a just settlement for their children.

This case study of a highly unusual form of maternity is a valuable addition to the literature on handicapped or deviant children. It is an account of how mothers who took part in a government-sponsored habilitation program in Montreal perceived the process of bearing and rearing (or deciding not to rear) a child with congenital thalidomide-induced deformities. Professor Roskies traces how the biological, psychological, and social factors interacted—and changed over time—as she sought to conceptualize and describe a new way of understanding the elements involved in the mothering of a handicapped child. She raises a number of disturbing questions about our customary ways of viewing this form of mother–child relationship.

"e;This momentous book is the first comprehensive history of thalidomide...It demonstrates how many thousands of victims could have been spared very late in the day if Chemie Grunenthal had taken any notice of the early alarms: ... [It] carries conviction by its scientific rigour, and the clarity of the writing. Fifty years after the deaths and sufferings, the thalidomide tragedy is marked by ... the odour of corruption and cover up."e; - Sir Harold Evans, former editor of The Sunday Times and The Times
