Dry Eyes of Innocence is an extraordinary story of courage and strength in the fight against leukemia! A chronicle from the author's viewpoint, as he witnesses a personal transformation unfold in the last five or six years of his brother's awe-inspiring battle. Jeffrey was imprisoned from the age of 15 to 37, and then released into a world foreign to him. As an adult, in free society, Jeffrey learned the ropes of true manhood and responsibility and then fell victim to a terminal illness, growing spiritually and emotionally while withering physically. Jeff and his family ponder -- will a matching donor be found in time? Will the transplant be successful, or rejected? Will the effects of this physical assault on his body cause him to succumb? Or, will victory reign? The author finds himself in transformation from fear to victory, learning of Jeffrey's leukemia at the most inopportune time, then helping his big brother overcome some of the most surreal moments of life imaginable. One finger in the air from Jeffrey is the constant reminder of his source of strength. This thug turned darling, with no internal organs and no self-sustaining breath, musters the strength to raise one finger and miraculously sing, "There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No, not one. No, not one!" All the ward nurses and doctors come running to witness this miracle! Dry Eyes of Innocence is a must read for anyone seeking strength in the midst of a storm, anyone searching for power to transform lives and for an inspiring message from an unlikely champion!
