About the Book

One man's truth about the reality of coping with a child who has a chronic illness. This book takes an unflinching look at one man's struggle as he deals with his daughter's chronic illness. It is personal. It is powerful. It makes the reader reflect on how society distances males from their emotions, leaving them stranded in their time of need. It is also a call to action to change things -- to encourage men to share their feelings and come together in a movement that celebrates their inner emotional life. Kudos to Mr. Illes for baring his soul in the service of helping others on their journey. Maureen O'Brien, PhD Psychologist, Mom and Family Educator, Founder, www.destinationparenting.com An important read for dads who feel they're alone in times of family crisis and think they need to be solely responsible for holding things together. They're not, and they don't. This book reminds us of that. Pete Giove-Fourwinds, Father
About the Author: Russ Illes is a sixty-five year old father of two grown daughters with three granddaughters. His youngest daughter was diagnosed with ALL at age three. Over the last thirty years the cancer has returned a total of six times. Each time taking a different form. Russ has undergone therapy of one sort or another for fifteen years and been involved with the Living with Cancer Support Group at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, MA. He was a volunteer in cancer hospice care for eight years. He is co-founder, leader and participant of a men's support group that has been together for twenty-four years. Russ has been involved with the "Friends of Hope" project at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, MA from inception through implementation. The mission of this project is to give children, ages 4-10, whose parent or grandparent has cancer, a voice. The project is based on the book The Moon Balloon by Joan Drescher and training is provided by the author. In addition to his volunteer work with the Friends of Hope, Russ has volunteered his time at the Magical Moon Foundation in Marshfield, MA, which supports children with brain tumors and other life-challenging illnesses. Based on his thirty-four years of experience, there is nothing in the community specifically aimed at supporting fathers of children with life-threatening illnesses. Russ's goal is to create a safe place for dad's to begin a conversation.
