Goodnight, Brian is an enthralling story of fate versus faith. Fate was working against little Brian Mauretti. The soy-food that was meant to nourish him was poisoning him instead. The damage was devastating that Brian’s doctor said that Brian will not walk, talk or develop holistically.  Fate has written off Brian but, fate did not know that the boy Brian has a faith-filled grandmother named Angela DiMartino, whose faith can move mountains. Mama battled fate with a good fight of faith. Inside this great book, you will find out who won the battle between fate and faith. 

This novel is an emotional and inspiring story about the strength of unconditional love, family bond, high level faith and the determination to overcome the challenges of life. I term this book “Inspirational fiction.” This book is very motivating, inspirational and alluring. A story beautifully rendered to educate us that we should not give up when life throw stones at us. Brian’s grandmother may be aged but her faith is as strong as rock. Reading Goodnight, Brian authored by Steven Manchester reminds me of the lives of the overcomers I wrote about in my book “Overcoming the Challenges of Life.”
