"It was a story I needed to hear. It was a deeply spiritual story. Graham reflected beauty, goodness, humility into a self-absorbed, goal driven, power hungry world. For those who were present and aware, Graham taught them life changing lessons of life. And his spirit continues to do so!-- ""Phil Reppert, contributor to Vineyard Gazette and author of Nativity on East 7th, a New York City Christmas Love Story""Graham Gardner is a stellar example of the invaluable place held by the greatly different. The sheer force of humanity called forth by Graham gives testament to their bedrock value. To begin, no boy was ever more beloved by his father, in a world that aches for fathers who make manifest their love for their sons."" This is a holy book.-- ""Rabbi Lawrence Kushner"" This is an unusually moving and inspirational book, a clear-eyed and loving portrait of a son and his too-short but transcendent life. Graham's story is a tribute to the human spirit and the invisible bonds which connect us to each other.-- "" Ken Burns, Documentary Filmmaker""The story of a beautiful boy who showed us a life without limits and embodied the power of love."" To what lengths would the loving parents of a severely disabled child go to enrich his life? And in return, what profound lessons would that child teach all who nurtured him? Readers of Jabberwocky will be pondering those questions long after they finish this remarkable story.-- "" Joseph P. Kahn, columnist, Boston GlobeHow lucky we are that Steven and Cynthia were chosen to receive the gift of Graham and that they knew he was meant to be shared. In Graham's world-including a madcap summer camp called Jabberwocky-something wondrous and beyond us is at play..."""

Author Information

"DR. STEVEN GARDNER is an internist at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. As a member of the MGH Global Disaster Response Team he has served in Haiti and the Philippines with Project Hope. He has been a volunteer physician at the Martha's Vineyard Cerebral Palsy Camp (""Camp Jabberwocky"") for 25 years, caring for children and adults with a wide range of challenges. He is a passionate photographer whose images focus on the resilience of people facing adversity and the compassion of the people who assist them. He is a past winner of the Harvard Medical School Humanism in Medicine Award. Mark Lawrence Wolf is a Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Wolf was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on March 8, 1985 by President Ronald Reagan. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 3, 1985, and received his commission on the following day. In 2006, Wolf was appointed Chief Judge, and he served in this position for six years, until 2012. On January 1, 2013, he took senior status. His departure from full-time status created an open seat for the district. Wolf had been vocal about getting newer, younger judges to represent the court. Wolf wrote in his letter to the president. ""While I look forward to continuing to render substantial service as a Senior Judge, I am confident that my court and my community will be enriched by also having the undoubtedly younger additional judge who will be appointed to fill the vacancy created as a result of my becoming a Senior Judge. As a Senior Judge, Wolf has continued to preside in a wide range of criminal and civil cases. In 2016, Judge Wolf, Justice Richard Goldstone of South Africa and colleagues formed Integrity Initiatives International (III), a Boston-based NGO and international anti-corruption advocacy group. III aims to combat grand corruption by strengthening the enforcement of criminal laws against kleptocrats. One part of III's mission is to catalyze a campaign for the establishment of an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC)--a concept which Wolf originated in 2014 articles for the Brookings Institution, published in The Washington Post. In July 2018, Daedalus (journal) published Wolf's article, ""The World Needs an International Anti-Corruption Court.""[4] He has also frequently spoken on the role of the judge in a democracy, human rights issues, and combatting corruption in various countries around the world: Russia, China, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Egypt, Cyprus, and Panama."
