Publisher Description

At once a loving legacy and an unsparing depiction of a devastating illness, Danielle Steel’s tribute to her lost son is a gift of life, hope, healing, and understanding to us all.

“This is the story of an extraordinary boy with a brilliant mind, a heart of gold, and a tortured soul. It is the story of an illness, a fight to live, and a race against death.

I want to share the story, and the pain, the courage, the love, and what I learned in living through it. I want Nick's life to be not only a tender memory for us, but a gift to others. . . . I would like to offer people hope and the realities we lived with. I want to make a difference. My hope is that someone will be able to use what we learned, and save a life with it.”—Danielle Steel

From the day he was born, Nick Traina was his mother's joy. By nineteen, he was dead. This is Danielle Steel's powerful, personal story of the son she lost and the lessons she learned during his courageous battle against darkness. Sharing tender, painful memories and Nick's remarkable journals, Steel brings us a haunting duet between a singular young man and the mother who loved him—and a harrowing portrait of a masked killer called manic depression, which afflicts between two and three million Americans.

Lovely tribute

But my first of her books to read. Probably the last.

BBBOOP56 ,

A wonderful title to a very special book!

I often had tears of my own! I feel that I and my family experienced many fights with society in regards to my sister, Vanessa, and her life long battle to grow up. She had Encephalitis at the age of 3 and in 1962 we didn’t have the medical technology of today. She suffered a lot of brain damage! My parents never gave up on her. She is now 62 years old and has the mentality of a 5 year old. Life has been a struggle for her, but she has survived many emotional ups and downs. Our family loves her dearly. Thank you for writing this story of your son. Betty Himan
