This book is a biography of Dr. Robert S. Sanders, who was born in middle Tennessee in 1927. He was educated and trained at Vanderbilt University Medical School. He became a well known pediatrician and was the director for 25 years of the Rutherford County Health Department in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Sanders was the catalyst for the "grassroots" lobbying that resulted in Tennessee's being the first state in the nation with a child restraint law (Child Passenger Protection Act) in 1977, a landmark event.
