Reviews
"Given the perspective that sometimes only a crisis can bring, Ryan learns to forgive herself for the smaller struggles of her son's earlier years, to take each day's challenges as they come and to trust herself to be the only mother that he needs." -- Publishers Weekly, "Everything Joan Ryan writes is highly intelligent and full of insight, butThe Water Giveris something special. It is a harrowing and beautiful account of a child's medical crisis, resonant with Ms. Ryan's trademark great humor and heart. It is a story of a small family with a great kid coming through a medical and emotional trauma beyond most people's wildest dreams, or nightmares, and it is a story about the healing grace of deep friendships and a loving community. I couldn't put it down." - ANNE LAMOTT, author ofOperating Instructions and Grace (Eventually), "This is a story that will move the heart of anyone who has ever been a parent or a child. A primer for patience and responsibility, and a testament to a mother's love." -- MITCH ALBOM, "We have to admire Ryan for tackling these topics. It is one thing to live through the experiences as they occur; it is quite another to re-create them honestly and effectively. And though the story Ryan tells is unique...the themes of love, grace and redemption that run through her discussion are ideas with which we can all relate." --Christina Eng, The San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
"The Water Giver" is the gripping story of a near-fatal accident and an examination of how the tragic event gave the author a new start as a mother., Joan Ryan tells the powerful story of how her son's near-fatal accident, and his struggle to become whole again, gave her a second chance to become the mother she had always wished she could be. Acclaimed journalist and author: Joan Ryan's sports columns earned her thirteen Associated Press Sports editors Awards, the National Headliner Award, and the Women's Sports Foundation's Journalism Award, among other honors. Her first book, Little Girls in Pretty Boxes: The Making and Breaking of Elite Gymnasts and Figure Skaters was named one of the Top 100 Sports Books of all Time by Sports Illustrated. Medical drama: When Ryan's sixteen-year-old son fell off of a skateboard, it wasn't obvious at first how serious his injuries were. With a journalist's eye for the telling detail and the rhythms of a natural storyteller, she captures his medical ordeal as he lurches from crisis to crisis-and with harrowing honesty and astonishing insight, relates her own journey through unknown emotional terrain. A mother's story: Ryan's son was diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dysfunction as a toddler; by the time he reached school age, it was clear that he suffered from ADHD and other learning disabilities. Though she loved him fiercely, she never stopped trying to fix him. When he is restored to her after his accident, she realizes she has the opportunity to be his mother all over again-only this time she lets go of the illusion of control. Now she not only accepts, but also embraces her son for who he really is.

- 7***j (838)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

However the seller very quickly righted everything, communicating with me the entire time. The other two items were in perfect condition, arrived on time, and were exactly as described. They were very quick to fix what was wrong, and were very polite about the entire thing. I will be buying from them again in the future.
- f***f (468)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaReasonable price for a hardcover children's book, printed on quality, thick, glossy paper. No photo of item on listing, which was a bit lazy (even if it is a low-cost one). Packaging fine, mailed the following day, and postal costs included tracking. Arrived in good time, and with only minor cosmetic damage to the cover. Greatly appreciate it when sellers take the time to treat a low-cost order with care.Minions: Long Live King Bob - 1910114235, Lucy Rosen, hardcover, new (#286407220301)
