Book by Pringle Terry

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this extraordinary chronicle, Terry Pringle, telling of his four-year-old son's battle with leukemia, so fully captures this "ordinary" child's achievement of amazing courage and grace that his book transcends its burden of pain to fill us with wonder and pride at the gallantry of which the human spirit is capable. -- From Alfred A. Knopf, the original publisher Pringle has balanced his account perfectly. He employs neither sympathy-card sentimentality nor gruesome close-up. --Time Magazine A profoundly stirring book, This Is the Child is one of the finer contributions to inspirational literature. --Dallas Morning News With this book Pringle has clearly found his professional calling. We'll hear from him again. But life will never serve the writer with a more heartfelt story. --Texas Monthly This Is the Child is a story of victory of courage over fear, peace over turmoil, spirit over flesh. --New York Times Book Review The reader experiences a wonderful feeling of elation at the indomitability of the human spirit. --Fort Worth Star-Telegram
