My Brother's Shadows - Hayley Reynolds

Summary:

A journey of faith in the midst of tragedy.

Hayley was 22 years old when her brother Wayne, then 16, was diagnosed with leukaemia, cancer of the blood. Within a few weeks Wayne also contracted a deadly fungal infection in his sinus, which spread to his left eye and then into his brain.

In this book, Hayley recounts the emotional journey she and her family took as Wayne fought his illnesses, before he tragically passed away 18 months later. It is filled with amazing courage and faith amidst pain and suffering, and finally points towards the ultimate source of hope itself.

"Wayne's legacy at Westlake Boys High School lives on to this day. Wayne taught us all at Westlake to have faith, to believe, and in doing so he became the teacher and no longer the student. He taught us to have courage and to be at peace no matter the odds."
