Review
I have just read a most touching book of triumph from tragedy. Jason, My Child chronicles the shock of listening to a doctor telling Wes and Martha Vitale of Saugus, MA, that their five-year-old son has leukemia. Their seemingly ordered life is plunged into a swirl of shots, chemotherapy, hospitals, and expenses that bring exhaustive disarray to all aspects of life. Life in fiction books has a happy ending, but not in this real-life mystery. This is an honestly written book. It doesn't gloss over the trauma of the situation. But it does tell how friends prayed and cared. It does tell how God stilled hearts in the midst of the storm. It does tell how the faith of a little child triumphed over the fear of facing mountainous difficulties and finally death itself. -- Jim McKendrick, Uplook, May 1994
It was November 7, 1983 - a day seared into the memories of Martha and Wesley Vitale for life. The doctor was speaking about their 5-year-old son Jason. "It is leukemia." No one was going to rush in and say, "There's been a mistake, Jason will be fine in a few days." He really had cancer. What do you do as a parent at a time like this? Where do you go, to whom do you turn when life doesn't seem to make sense anymore? The story of Jason Vitale is not a story of tremendous sadness and defeat, but one of triumph experienced through complete trust in God. "Life is tough, but heaven is better." -- Uplook, May 1994

Every mother believes her child is special. In the first moments of life, something magical happens. From then on, a mother feels she is watching part of her heart perform outside of herself. Having given birth to seven children, I understand that each one is special. The feeling is the same regardless of the child's place in the family. This book is not an attempt to impress others with Jason's exceptional qualities. Its purpose is to present the remarkable way God comes in to meet our every need. Jason, in simple faith, bowed to the Lord's will and thus became an example to us all. His story is not one of tremendous sadness and defeat but an account of the triumph one can experience through trust in God.
