His Bright Light - Danielle Steel

At once a loving legacy and an unsparing depiction of a devastating illness, Danielle Steel's tribute to her lost son is a gift of life, hope, healing, and understanding to us all.

"This is the story of an extraordinary boy with a brilliant mind, a heart of gold,
and a tortured soul. It is the story of an illness, a fight to live, and a race against
death.

I want to share the story, and the pain, the courage, the love, and what
I learned in living through it. I want Nick's life to be not only a tender memory
for us, but a gift to others. . . . I would like to
offer people hope and the realities
we lived with. I want to make a difference. My hope is that someone
will be able
to use what we learned, and save a life with it."-Danielle Steel

From the day he
was born, Nick Traina was his mother's joy. By nineteen, he was dead. This is Danielle
Steel's powerful, personal story of the son she lost and the lessons she learned
during his courageous battle against darkness. Sharing tender, painful memories and
Nick's remarkable journals, Steel brings us a haunting duet between a singular young
man and the mother who loved him-and a harrowing portrait of a masked killer called
manic depression, which afflicts between two and three million Americans.
