For the past 17 years, I have held our son Alex’s hand every night as he falls asleep. It’s a special time between father and son as we lie on our backs and talk to the ceiling. We talk about life, girls, video games, and anything weighing heavy on his teenaged mind. I listen and offer guidance where I can as Alex opens his heart and bares his soul. Over the past several years, our most poignant discussions have centered on one question about life with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
“Why?”
This is not an easy question to answer as Duchenne is cruelly progressive and terminal. His question is heartfelt, personal, and truth-seeking. It expects attention, understanding, and honesty. The question is also universal as it relates to human suffering.
I've tried to capture the essence of this question and our discussions in The Key. From Jerusalem to Milan, the foothills of the Italian Alps to Bellagio and Lake Como, The Key propels readers on a desperate search for truth about Jerusalem's destruction and human suffering. The Key challenges readers to question God's Plan, our responsibilities to one another, and the future of humanity through the eyes of a man seeking revenge and another living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
I hope you enjoy it!
