A poignant and resonant memoir on one man's admirable journey to purpose and fulfillment in life. --Robert Braile/former book critic for the Boston Globe A stunning and insightful memoir of a family's journey, which recounts a miraculous spirit. Their resilience and determination to create a lifetime of blessings and success for their two profoundly disabled sons is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at once. Their love of their children guided them as they overcame sadness, terror, confusion and lost hope. What they discovered about themselves and the gifts their boys bring them will inspire every parent, every teacher and all who read this incredible story of finding something within yourself you didn't know existed. --Harvey Berman/Life Fellow of Orthopsychiatric Association of America/Spurwink Institute Humanitarian of the Year Award 2003
