Goodnight, Brian
by Steven Manchester

 
About the Book: Fate was working against little Brian Mauretti. The food that was meant to nourish him was poisoning him instead, and the doctors said the damage was devastating and absolute. Fate had written off Brian. But fate didn’t count on a woman as determined as Brian’s Grandmother, Angela DiMartino – who everyone knew as Mama. Loving her grandson with everything she had, Mama endeavored to battle fate. Fate had no idea what it was in for.
 
About the Author: Author of national best seller Twelve Months (read my review), and several other books, Steven is a husband and father to four.  He began writing under the pen name Steven Herberts. 
 
My Thoughts:
Similar to Twelve Months, Goodnight, Brian reads real to life. It felt as if Steven were writing a story he personally experienced. That is what I love about his writing style. It’s still a story, but brought to life as you find different aspects of each characters life you can relate to.  Mama very much reminded me of my aunt. I grew up near her, we went on many little adventures around New England together, and she commanded respect at all times. But she did it all out of love, and you never had any doubt that my Aunt loved you.  She was practically a 2nd mom to me.
 
Goodnight, Brian will bring your emotions to the surface as a mother or father receiving a devastating diagnosis for your child (even if your child is just fine, any parent can imagine the emotions they must feel), as a brother or sister watching your family struggle, feeling alone because one sibling receives more attention, and learning to grow from those trials. The anger at being given such a trial, and if have faith in God, the number of prayers said for your loved ones.
 
Steven Manchester has again pulled on my heartstrings, and turned my faith further to my God in struggling times.
