About this listen
April Fool's Day is controversial, painful and heartbreaking, yet has a gentle humor. It is also life-affirming and, above all, a testimony to the incredible regenerative strength of love: how when we confront our worst, we can become our best. This tragic yet uplifting story will change the way you think. From the author of The Power of One.

A beautifully written and narrated love story
I had only just joined Audible, April Fools Day was my free book and what a way to hook me in. Absolutely loved this Bryce Courtney dedication to his beautiful boy. So wonderfully narrated, I laughed, cried and loved every minute.

So raw and emotional
Having lost a child and experienced years of hospital admissions, this story was all too raw and emotional. Beautifully told with such brutal honesty. It’s so true, the majority of hospital staff are what you expect, brilliant, dedicated and caring. But there are a large number of incompetent, arrogant and unprofessional fools who belong nowhere near sick people.
Can’t believe Bryce wrote his first couple of beautiful books while experiencing all this!

Frustrating but heartbreaking
A beautiful, bitter wonderful story of a family, young love and a needless tragedy. A must read for those with courage.

Gold Standard Emotive Storytelling
What a book to listen to. I had read this year's earlier and always cherished the story. I hadn't liked ready Bryce Courtenay as a fictional author but as a biographical non fiction writer, his usual extremely descriptive and elaborate writing fits the narrative so well.
The book has so much to offer in way of story, but also offering input from others which adds to really well describing Damon.
A book for the bucket list, and for a good cry.
the narrator is very well suited and tells the story so emotionally accurate that you can almost sense him holding tears back at the difficult parts.
Great book for an audio book! must must read!!

If ever you think you’re having a bad day!
Loved this book, made me take a good look at a lot of the insignificant worries I make a far to big a deal of.
I whole unfairness of it all made me sad.

Thank you for a beautiful life...
