Because of Sean

About the Book

Because of Sean, the true story of a mother's courage both before and after the death of her young son, profiles lessons learned and hope gained-all in the name of God, eternal memories, and unconditional love.

Author Susan Henley never suspected the worst when her son Sean suddenly developed a fever at a soccer practice. When the fever persisted after several days, she and Sean visited the doctor. Suddenly, Henley's world was turned upside down when she heard the awful word: "leukemia". In a mother's poignant and loving conversational style, Henley describes the long first night in the hospital, how she learned to cope with terminal illness, when she learned that ignorance may be bliss, and how she dealt with relapse and Sean's last week of life.

Because of Sean is a sometimes-funny, more often sad, tale of a family's struggle and spiritual journey through a difficult crisis. Sean's story will make you laugh and cry, but it will also offer hope and healing through its most important message: you can survive and re-create beautiful memories of your child.
