Description

About the Book

Livingston survived the tragedy of child loss twice in as many years when one son committed suicide and the other died of leukemia. This account, crafted from the journal he kept, traces his son Lucas's courageous battle with leukemia and Livingston's cycle of faith lost and hope regained.

Book Synopsis

The loss of a child is every parent's most unspeakable fear. Gordon Livingston survived that tragedy not once but twice in a 13-month period, losing one son to suicide and another to leukemia. Only Spring, based on the journal he began keeping when the family received six-year-old Lucas's diagnosis, traces the excruciating ordeal of witnessing his child's courageous battle and the agonizing cycle of faith lost and hope regained. As a memorial, Only Spring will introduce you to a remarkable child whose legacy of hope and love can enrich each of us. As a portrait of survival, it will infuse us with the strength and faith to confront the most profound challenges in our lives.
