Summary: Can anyone describe this book in just one word?
Review: "Honor Thy Children" was the most difficult book I've HAD to read in a long time. The Nakitani's were forced to face their worse fears head-on...over and over again. With each terrible event or deep secret exposed, they had to question who they were, where they had been and where they were headed (as a family) in the future. We all tend to think we know ourselves well, but we haven't begun to scratch the surface until tragedy strikes us where it hurts most. Molly Fumia tells this story with such honesty and compassion, that you begin to find yourself immersed in the saga of ignorance which becomes deadly to some very promising young men. The emotional impact of this family's losses and how the parents try to come to terms with their regrets, had a firm hold on me through every compelling page. I'm relieved to have finished reading this incredibly sad story, but I will never forget the affect it had on me. Whether you are a parent or not, this story will open your eyes to yourself. Don't miss this opportunity for enlightenment.

Summary: One family's triumph in the face of tragedy
Review: A true story of amazing conviction and power, HONOR THY CHILDREN chronicles one family's transformation from darkness and dysfunction to enlightenment and wholeness. It begins with the Nakatani's initial disownment of their eldest son upon learning of his sexual orientation and ends with the ultimate acceptance and support of their youngest son--lovingly helping him to die with peace and dignity. This is a story of love and acceptance of allowing all people to be their own unique selves. I promise it will make an enormous impact on you and the ones you love.

Summary: Three sons. Three deaths. A family's heartbreaking story.
Review: Alexander and Jane Nakatani are surviving the deaths of their three sons. Greg, the middle son, was shot and killed. Glen and Guy, both gay, died of AIDS. The Nakatani's story, though full of almost unbearable heartache, teaches us to reach out and accept our children. We become most acquainted with Guy, the youngest son, whose idea was to put into book form his family's story. Fumia does a wonderful job of relating the family's anguish, sorrow, and joy.

Summary: Can anyone describe this book in just one word?
Review: Can anyone describe this book in just one word? I know I definitely can't! I'm a psychology student and we used Honor Thy Children in the human sexuality class as a secondary text. Reading it was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences in my life. It is as wonderful as Tuesdays With Morrie, another book of the same genre, incredibly touching and had me laughing uncontrollably at some moments and crying with wrenching sobs the next. This book is incredible and reaches to everyone who has ever lived through a death of a loved one, familial problems or questions about sexual orientation. I feel honoured to have the opportunity to meet the Nakatani's in the next few weeks and share our thoughts.

Summary: A moving must read!!
Review: I first picked up this book almost by accident at a bargin bookstore in the mall one day
I read the cover and was curious why it said honor thy children and what were the stories behind the people on the cover
ThenI sat down and read it , and I was moved to tears!!
It gives a moving yet brutal picture about a family's stuggles. I can even imagine how devastating it would be to loose all 3 children
What makes this book so interesting is that is is told from the point of veiw of the parents that last surviving child guy and the author and all 3 points of view sucks you into their world their joys and thier pain.
It also eduacated me about AIds, and aids prevention not only in practices but in mindset
As a young woman who is in the era of the Aids epidemic this book as shown me the importance of holding your own life scared and to protect oneself from this disease by becoming informed
I am apart of my colleges gay straight alliance and my first instinct from reading this book is that I have to donate it to the library because is wass too sad for me personally to read again , but if someone else could get what I got from this book then that would be great
The book also gives a look about the 2 gay son's different views on being gay men, and how that realization changes thier lives forever
I suggest that you read this book because this is a true life real glimps of am american family and what they go thorugh as human beings, it will move the unmovable , inform us about other people, and touch us

Summary: The most beautiful and devastating book that I've read....
Review: It's been said: "There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are people who put it back." Al and Jane Nakatani have turned their hearts inside out for the world to see...and Molly Fumia, as their story's conduit, treats those hearts with the tenderest, utmost respect. I find it difficult to convey how deeply moved I am by the infinite losses this family has suffered, and by the love and blessings that they have chosen to offer the world out of their broken-open hearts. *Please* read this book, and follow its most courageous lead: Honour your children, whoever they may be!
