My Brother’s Shadows
A Journey of Faith in the Midst of Tragedy
By Hayley Reynolds
Hayley was 22 years old when her brother Wayne, then 16, was
diagnosed with leukaemia, cancer of the blood. Within a few
weeks Wayne also contracted a deadly fungal infection in his
sinus, which spread to his left eye and then into his brain.
In this book, Hayley recounts the emotional journey she and
her family took as Wayne fought his illnesses, before he
tragically passed away 18 months later. It is filled with amazing
courage and faith amidst pain and suffering, and finally points
towards the ultimate source of hope itself.
My Brother’s Shadows will be launched at
7pm, Wednesday 12 June
Jack Brockhoff Lecture Theatre
Level 3, Peter MacCullum Cancer Centre
St Andrew’s Place, East Melbourne, 3002.
Adolescents and young adults are a unique group when it comes to a cancer diagnosis. As the sibling
of a young cancer patient, Hayley provides an accurate and honest recount of her experience. She
highlights so beautifully the challenges facing siblings on the journey and leaves the reader feeling in
awe of her courage and faith. A ‘must read’ for all. Ilana Berger, Victorian Adolescent and Young
Adult Cancer Service.
My Brother’s Shadows is an honest and thought-provoking exploration into the bond of kinship, the
betrayal of death and the beauty of God. Through this personal account of human tragedy and spiritfilled
triumph, Hayley reaches the heart, challenges the mind and gives voice to the full orchestra of
human emotion. This is a book you won’t want to put down. Guy Mason, City on a Hill, Melbourne.
