Product description...

A Young Boy’s Powerful Declaration of His Faith and Purpose in Life

As a response to a school writing prompt, Timmy professes his desire to become a beacon of faith for those who will follow him. Several months after writing his “Wish,” Timmy is diagnosed with a brain tumor, sending him on a journey through the ravages of pediatric cancer surgery and treatment while he continues to live out his life’s purpose. Timmy’s Wish is told through the lens of his older brother, who chronicles Timmy’s amazing life and their relationship with each other and their family as they battle this disease together. The family must now deal with the realities of life, death, grief, and resilience while also battling challenges to their faith, as prayer has failed to bring them the answers they seek.

In recognition of the many families and individuals who are faced with similar challenges, the book offers resources for family care services and options for handling the grief that inevitably comes with this traumatic experience. Timmy’s Wish is the moving true story of how one life and one wish inspire Timmy’s brother, his family, and a community—and continue to do so through his lessons from heaven.

Timmy's Wish: Lessons From Heaven, has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Non-fiction Memoir category from the 2024 New York Book Festival.
