· Pros:   Very uplifting book
               Gives particle ways to gain an eternal perspective
               Enjoyable reading

· Cons:  I wasn’t sure what the book was about by the title and was hesitant to read it.

· Description:  Written by K. Douglas Bassett.
                           Bro. Bassett wrote this book about the things he learned from the time he found out his newborn son Boyd had cystic fibrosis and would only live until he was 3 years old until the present.
                          196 pages with 15 chapters, an epilogue and appendix.  Bro. Bassett refers to the appendix throughout the book and sections can be read as referred to or the whole appendix can be read at the end.
                          The appendix is additional pages to clarify doctrines or experiences the writer is referring to.
                          Each chapter contains great artwork done by the author’s son.

· Review:  A very uplifting book that helps us gain an eternal perspective on life.  Reminds us of why we are here and where we are going.  Teaches these eternal truths while using a story that touches the heart.  Well written and worth reading.  I am glad that I read this book and recommend it to any one who needs a reminder of the eternal nature of life.
