Overview:
In the bestselling novels of suspense master David Morrell, fear is the main subject. But Morrell himself had never known genuine terror until he watched his 15-year-old son wage a heroic but doomed struggle with cancer. This is one father's powerful and unforgettable story of fierce love, impenetrable loss, and an unexpected, breathtaking encounter with the miraculous. Ultimately, "Fireflies" is a tribute to the undying human spirit that has already given new hope to enthralled and grateful readers around the world.
Skillfully combining fictional and nonfictional writing, Morrell tries to convey the feeling of having a beloved teenaged son die of a rare form of cancer. With sensitivity, in agony, and in love, he recounts the progress of the disease and treatment; the continuing hope and setback; and the difficult choices he and his wife must make (including a 15-minute, no-second-thoughts decision in the midst of major surgery). He vividly recounts his admiration for his son's courageous persistence; his own, nearly overwhelming, panic attacks; his poignant denial of his son's death; and the comfort of three seemingly mystical signs he receives. Highly recommended for general and seminary libraries.
