A Boy's Gift to the World
'The Nicholas Effect' is a touching story of the little boy from California who was shot in Italy by highway robbers while vacationing in Italy with his family. His parents agreed to donate his organs, which went to seven Italians awaiting transplants, and which inspired an outpouring of love from the Italian community. The world's response to the Green's personal tragedy has become known as "The Nicholas Effect", and is the inspiration behind this book.
The story has initiated a sharp increase in organ donor rates, and a deluge of media attention. Four years after Nicholas' death, the movement of remembrance has continued to gather in momentum. 'The Nicholas Effect' gives you an opportunity to learn more about the events and people that contributed to the story. The book is accessible, eloquent, and life affirming.
