Eyes of Silence is a love story. A story of deep and profound love that endures the tragedies and imperfections of our physical existence. Written with simplicity and clarity, it's a story that tries to make sense of a bewildering episode in the lives of a couple that can only be described as an emotional maelstrom.
The outcome is a startling one: a momentary physical insensibility is overcome by emotional and spiritual courage. This story is an expression of love where the reader is taken on a journey of fear, uncertainty and hope.
"This is one of the most moving accounts I have read of a person struggling to come to terms with terrible illness of a loved one. In this account Doug has opened his heart describing his distress and his feelings throughout what was for him and his family a terrible ordeal. Doug's account however, also has a message of hope, in that he has developed a determination to do all he can personally to help other people in a similar situation". —Professor Edward Byrne AO, Vice-Chancellor Monash University
