Thanks for the review! Despite its sad nature, this book will offer strength to parents going through what Chad's parents went through. I commend the author for sharing their story.

This must have been a painful and beautiful story. Reading your review, I am intrigued as to why the parents would lose custody of Chad. Is it, perhaps, linked to how you suggest they refuse to treat him?
I'm not sure I have the emotional capacity to read this book, but I appreciate the author's courage to share her story. Congratulations on this great review.

Your honesty about the slow-paced sections due to detailed descriptions adds a nuanced perspective. Despite this, your acknowledgment of the book's exceptional editing and minor flaws reassures me of its overall quality. The recommendation for those seeking motivation from real-life stories makes me inclined to explore "Chad's Triumph."

Chad's Triumph is a touching novel about the authors son and his battle with cancer. I agree that it must have taken a lot for the author to write this book. I commend her for her strength. I'm curious about the legal issues mentioned and how they affected the authors family.

Today's BOTD is a non-fiction story about Chad Green, a young boy who died after a long battle with leukemia. The mother, also the author of this book, shares the trials and tribulations her family went through during the most difficult phase of their lives. Having had to fight a legal custody battle with the government to care for their child must have been an extremely painful process. Congratulations on the BOTD!

This is such a touching book. It shows that people really go through a lot. Being hale and hearty throughout one's life is a huge blessing. I don't wish anyone goes through such an experience. It's a well-deserved rating for me.

Your compassionate portrayal of "Chad's Triumph" and the challenges faced by his parents is heartrending. The description of the struggle with leukemia and the legal battles for custody adds a layer of complexity that intrigues me.

No parent would want to see their child suffer. Adding to that, a court case about his custody? I would love to read the book to understand why.
Thank you for the review.

I can envisage suspense and anxiety rush from the long-drawn court battle involving the state and Chad's parents. Despite this, it's so sad that Chad suffers from Leukemia. Thanks for the wonderful review.

It's quite unfortunate to hear the author's first son suffered from leukaemia. It must have been distressful to them. Would like to read the full story. Congrats on the BOTD and a well-written review.

I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child to Leukemia. It also sounds like there were additional struggles for the parents along the way. The author has bravely shared their story. Thanks for an excellent review. It sounds like a sad, but thought-provoking non-fiction novel.
