Product Description

When she returns from Mountainside Christian Academy to her family farm in New Hampshire for the summer, fifteen-year-old Liz faces a struggle between her family's faith and her own desire to "be herself," a struggle complicated by older brother's battle with muscular dystrophy.

From the Publisher

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, but I won't be going back….I wasn't really happy there….I won't go back! You can't make me!"

One thing Liz Williamson is sure about: she's not going back to Mountainside Christian Academy. Although she's always been close to her brother, Thomas, who has muscular dystrophy, she's determined that even he won't change her mind. But Liz's summer at home brings more than she ever expected, and at its end she faces the biggest decision of her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an insight to a world very different from ours, June 21, 2001
By A Customer
This book, an insight to the life of a handicapped man, depicts the true harships that someone of that nature must unwillingly endure. Thomas, showed greta courage and stamina, even up to his death. "Because of Thomas" reminds us of how lucky we are, and I am happy to say that the window ofother worlds has been opened up for me to see what these people went through. This book is encouraging, not negative. I found it very capturing but at the same time a vivid reminder of those who struglle through each day but make the most of it.
