THE BOY IN THE MOON: A FATHER’S SEARCH FOR HIS DISABLED SON Written by Ian Brown Published by Random House Canada 
IN TELLING THE STORY of his son afflicted with a rare, mysterious disease, Ian Brown takes us into a netherworld where medicine and morality meet. He recounts the quotidian struggles of Walker with artless candour, quirky humour and unsparing detail. Marshalling a journalist’s investigative tools, Brown searches out the disabled and finds not only them, but a community of geneticists, neurologists, ethicists, and secular saints. His account of his journey is deeply discomfiting and deeply affecting. Along the way, Brown discovers himself – and the capacity for love. BUY THIS BOOK |
