Synopsis"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.

VERY TOUCHING STORY
Reading the book was an eye opener for me that mental illness can affect even the rich and famous and how hard it must be to watch your child endure so much pain. Although I have not had anyone close or related to me this disease, it gave me a better understanding of the sickness that so many have had to live with or without medication and the whole ordeal of diagnosis, treatment and the sleepless nights from worrying. Thank you Danielle for telling Nick's story for all to read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
