Customer Reviews

Worth the time

When I first got this book, I was a bit intimidated by its size. But I found that I couldn't put it down and the reading went quickly. The story was simple, kind of quiet and emotionally moving. Though it didn't beat you over the head w/the reason why Dawson became ill, it was there and is a message that should speak to all young people.

Life Changing

This book reminds you to change your life now, because we never know what is in the future. Andrea's love for her son, and her son's love for her is inspiring! I could not put this book down. God is truly at work in Andrea's life.

Conversions born out of love and suffering.

"This is a book you cannot put down! This is a conversion story born out of love, patience, suffering and a whole lot of prayer. This is a story about a mother and son who said yes to God with all their hearts. A mother who like Saint Monica would not give up on her son. She stood by him through it all and offered all her love and prayers to God for her beloved son, Dawson. It is a journey of two souls that learned to trust and love God with all their hearts even beyond our earthly bonds. I compare this story to a rose with many thorns and then one bright and beautiful day it opens up and pours forth its grace and beauty."
