A father's memoir of courage, love and loss

Good Condition – Heavily rubbed and creased dust jacket with edge wear, small tears, and a previous owner's name. Pages excellent.

Bryce Courtenay tells the deeply personal story of his son Damon, who was born with haemophilia and later contracted HIV through contaminated blood products. As illness reshapes family life, Damon confronts prejudice, fear and physical suffering with intelligence, humour and remarkable courage. Courtenay writes openly about the bond between father and son, the failures of institutions and the final months leading to Damon's death on April Fool's Day. Both an indictment and a tribute, this memoir preserves a young man's determination to live fully and be remembered honestly.
