Society's Child

Ten-year old Nikki Best has a magnetic personality and an amazing range of expression, despite her increasing struggle to walk and talk. When Nikki is diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, her mother Terry struggles to learn all she can, challenging the medical establishment’s presumptions about her and her daughter to ensure the best treatment possible. The struggle ultimately leads to a battle for Nikki’s life and a choice that they must both make together.
