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.

"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
