In this deeply moving book, Lionel tells the story of his son Ian, whose short life was plagued by epilepsy, autism and various other ailments. Even as a beautiful baby, Ian was already showing signs of illness that would rule his and his family`s waking hours. His erratic behavior, violent tantrums and fits; the medical profession's ignorance or indifference, meant the Wilkes`s had to cope almost single-handed with the stress of their son's disability. His untimely death at the age of 35 left his parents with feelings of guilt and sorrow, compounded by a dubious coroner's verdict. Yet this is no bleak account of a wasted life. Despite the downside, Ian emerges as a lively affectionate young man with a wonderfully supportive family. This is ultimately a story about optimism strength and unconditional love.
