Junior's Hope: A Memoir of a Father's Son

by Mr William Roushey Jr

This is a love story between father and son. Its beginnings are rooted in a proud father's love and a young child's adoration. A teenage rebellion triggered by religious legalism jeopardizes their relationship and they drift apart. As the son ages and begins a family of his own, he is struck by the realization that he is not so different from his father. An unexplainable urge prompts him to resume close ties with his dad. Almost immediately after they reconnect his father is diagnosed with prostate cancer. While doctors struggle to save his father's life, the son searches for purpose in his own life. As his dad nears death, family members pray for healing, yet a miracle never came - or did it?

I'm the author. Rereading it year's later I had the feeling that, "I can't believe I wrote this incredible book." I was also moved once again by the pain I experienced from losing a loved one.
