His Bright Light: The Story of Nick Traina by Danielle Steel

2.0

My grandma recommended this book to me because I am a Special Education teacher who deals daily with children diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD who exhibit symptoms similar to Nick's. It feels wrong to write a review of this book with any commentary on Danielle and Nick, the life they shared, or the decisions that were made. I know that in publishing this book, Danielle opens herself to such commentary but I don't feel it necessary. The purpose of the book was to share her story and process her grief, and I can appreciate that. Unfortunately, I am also a person who appreciates good writing. And that (my fellow readers) is why, no matter how intriguing Nick may be or how fascinating I found it to read such a personal account of this family's trauma, I do not recommend reading this one.
