Daniel, My Son by David Thomas

Daniel was just 17, super-bright and gifted with a glittering future when he was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. His parents were told his life chances were slim and he had horrific treatment ahead of him. Yet Daniel refused to give up and incredibly, won a place at Oxford where he studied classics. His father David, a human rights lawyer also refused to accept the doctors’ prognoses and set about scouring the globe for a cure. This is a story of a father’s unconditional love for a cherished son. Above all, this is a story of humankind’s need for hope.
