Goodnight, Brian

"Steven Manchester has a gift for expressing through his writing the complicated and transcendent beauty of the human experience with poignant clarity." - Yolanda King, eldest daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King "Steven Manchester's GOODNIGHT, BRIAN is a poignant, inspiring story about resilience and faith and one family's enduring love that should be a model for us all." - James S.

Hirsch, bestselling author, WILLIE MAYS: THE LIFE, THE LEGEND "Wonderful fiction written by a great storyteller!" - Crystal Book Reviews "GOODNIGHT, BRIAN by Steven Manchester is a must, must read!

Yes, I did say must twice. This is because this book should not be missed." - Cheryl's Book Nook 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. An emotional tale about the strength of family bonds, unconditional love, and the perseverance to do our best with the challenging gifts we receive, Goodnight, Brian is an uplifting tribute to what happens when giving up is not an option. 2013 Southern California Book Festival (Winner-Spiritual category) 2013 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE BOOK AWARDS FINALIST 2013 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS FINALIST 2013 BEACH BOOK FESTIVAL RUNNER-UP SILVER MEDAL WINNER 2013 GLOBAL E-BOOK AWARDS FINALIST 2013 USA BEST BOOK AWARDS - SPIRITUALITY-INSPIRATIONAL Runner-Up Los Angeles Book Festival Award (Spiritual)
