JOHNNY GUNTHER WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD WHEN HE DIED OF A BRAIN TUMOR. DURING THE MONTHS OF HIS FINAL ILLNESS EVERYONE NEAR HIM WAS UNFORGETTABLY IMPRESSED BY HIS LEVEL-HEADED COURAGE, HIS WIT AND QUIET FRIENDLINESS, AND, ABOVE ALL, BY HIS UNFALTERING PATIENCE THROUGH THE TIME OF DESPAIR AND THOSE FEW HEARTBREAKING DAYS WHEN IT SEEMED, UNBELIEVABLY, THAT ALL WOULD BE WELL. THIS DEEPLY MOVING BOOK IS A FATHER'S MEMOIR OF A BRAVE, INTELLIGENT AND SPIRITED BOY IN HIS FIGHT TO OVERCOME A DREADFUL DISEASE THAT DOCTORS HAD THEN ONLY BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND. TO READ IT IS TO GRASP THE MEANING OF MAN'S POWER TO DEFY DEATH'S HURT, TO BE FILLED WITH CONFIDENCE AND EMPTIED OF DESPAIR. IT WILL BRING FRESH SPIRIT TO THE WEARY, NEW CONFIDENCE AND LIGHT TO THOSE WHO WALK IN SHADOW.
