Book Review by Eleni Basil: Lynette's Hope

Compiled and edited by Fr. Luke A. Veronis

Fr. Luke Veronis briefly tells the story of Lynette’s life, and then lets her writing speak for itself. Her faith and love of Christ transformed the tragedy of her fatal illness – cancer – into a powerful witness to the love and saving power of her Lord.

Her story is told primarily from her journal writings that she entered during her 20 month illness. When Fr. Veronis read her journal he was so moved by the entries that he said, “ This journal needs to be published so that others can be encouraged and enriched as we have been”.

Her story – 268 pages long – reads easily, and includes in the last chapter comments and reminiscences of Lynette by family and friends.
