Critical Praise

"A heartbreaking tale, beautifully written."

——The New Yorker

"If courage is the antidote to pain and grief, the disease and the cure are both in this book...A story of great unselfishness and great heroism."

——The New York Times

"To read it is to grasp the meaning of a man's power to defy Death's hurt, to be filled with confidence and emptied of despair. It will bring spirit to the weary, new confidence and light to those who walk in shadow."

——The New York Herald Times
