Fate was working against little Brian Mauretti. The food that was meant to nourish him was poisoning him instead, and the doctors said the damage was devastating and absolute. Fate had written off Brian. But fate didn’t count on a woman as determined as Brian’s grandmother, Angela DiMartino - who everyone knew as Mama. Loving her grandson with everything she had, Mama endeavored to battle fate. Fate had no idea what it was in for. An emotional tale about the strength of family bonds, unconditional love, and the perseverance to do our best with the challenging gifts we receive, Goodnight, Brian is an uplifting tribute to what happens when giving up is not an option.

Beautiful gut wrenching story about what Syntex did in the 1970’s. Neo Mulsoy ruined many lives. Here is one. It melted my heart. I remember that being very popular for a while. Then omg!

Initially a good story of family, love and faith. However the over use of themes of

family, love and faith moments/scenes makes the read want to say, " Ok, ok enough I've read this repeatedly. Lets move on. This its getting boring."

Several beautiful themes in this story
