I Dream He Talks to Me
Author: Allison Moorer
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0306923068
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
When Allison’s son, John Henry, stopped using his growing vocabulary just before his second birthday, she knew in her bones that something was shifting. In the years since his autism diagnosis, Allison and John Henry have embarked on an intense journey filled with the adventure, joy, heartbreak, confusion, and powerful love lessons that are the hallmarks of a quest for understanding. In I Dream He Talks to Me, Allison details the meltdowns and the moments of grace, and how the mundane expectations of a parent turn into extraordinary achievements. The saying goes, “If you know one person with autism, you know one person with autism”; no two stories are alike, and yet there are universal truths that apply to all parent-child relationships. With gorgeous prose, Allison shares her and John Henry’s experience while also creating a riveting narrative that will speak to anyone who parents—and who has questioned their own ability to do so. An exploration of resilience and compassion—both for ourselves and for others—I Dream He Talks to Me is also a moving meditation on our place in the world and how we get there; what words mean, what they don’t; and, ultimately, how we truly express ourselves and truly know those whom we love.

DREAM
Author: William C. Troge
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452067325
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Everyone has dreams, but only a select few people have enough drive and dedication to make their dreams a reality. At the age of 18, William C. Troge, Captain Bill to those who know him best, began working on his Dream — a twelve foot long sailboat he built himself from the ground up. He intended to break four world records by sailing around the world, alone. Before his Dream could become a reality, Bill met a variety of people who would lend him their support. Eventually, he met a group of men willing to back his venture with their own kind of support--$50,000 worth! With his financing in place, Captain Bill set off on his amazing voyage, sailing out of Oyster Bay into the sunset, just like he’d dreamed. The experience and the lessons learned at sea became a part of him — are still a part of him — and shaped the man he was to become years later. His experiences are captivating, and inspiring, creating a story meant to be shared with anyone who has ever had a dream, or ever wanted to live one.
