PRAISE FOR AN IMPORTANT DAY

​

"An Important Day, by John Siefring, is a well written, poignant novel which speaks of love and sacrifice. So many novels are filled with men who say they would do anything for the love of their life and family, but how many men would actually live and die by those words? This amazing story answers that question. It was an enjoyable read....five stars." - Gene Ligotti, author, Swamp Fox

 

".... had to keep setting the book down just to collect myself before continuing on with the story....connected with each and every character at an emotional level....written so beautifully. An Important Day is an emotional roller coaster ride. It will have you crying one minute and the next laughing out loud." - Danielle Steenrod, The Introverted Book Nerd

FROM THE BACK COVER

​

What would you do if you were told you have a progressive neurological disease? James Delaney has just been given this diagnosis. He is deeply concerned about the impact on his family, especially his six year old grandson, Charles. Telling no one of the disturbing news, he heads off on a solo camping trip, hoping to face this dilemma with courage and reason. In the process, he reviews his life and relationships. He has some agonizing decisions to make.

Martha, his wife, answers a knock on the door to be told James has suffered a serious accident during his sojourn. She discovers, quite by chance, the secret of her husband's diagnosis. The shattering news pounds away at the very core of the family.

The Delaneys struggle for balance and meaning as they journey bravely, and with humor, through the difficult days ahead. They learn, together, to create a new future. United, they find a way to move forward with hope, optimism, and dignity. You will not forget them or their tender and inspirational story.
