They say one of the greatest tragedies of the world is when a
father outlives his son. "Chris: A Memoir" is how Joe
Marziotti copes with this tragedy as his son spent the last three years
of his life battling the horrible disease leukemia. Reflecting on his
son's life but remembering to keep his spirit alive by not being
strictly morbid and remembering the good times, "Chris: A
Memoir" is a deftly written and composed memoir, and a must for any
parent in a sadly similar situation and seeking a proverbial shoulder to
cry on.
