5.0 out of 5 stars A healing story for anyone who has ever grieved, December 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Accidental Courage, Boundless Dreams: The True Story of One Family's Search for Healing After the Death of Their Young Son and How They Learned to Deal With Loss by Celebrating Life (Paperback)

The journey that Amy Barzach took from the diagnosis of her son, Jonathan, to his death at 9 months and thru the grief that followed is touching, beautiful and inspiring.
I give this book to friends who are experiencing a loss as a source of comfort, and a source of courage. Amy's story is told in such a way that all who read it can empathise with, and hopefully emulate, her ability to celebrate life.

This review is from: Accidental Courage, Boundless Dreams: The True Story of One Family's Search for Healing After the Death of Their Young Son and How They Learned to Deal With Loss by Celebrating Life (Paperback)

Amy Barzach's true story of overcoming the terrible tragedy of the death of her 9 month old son is both heartwrenching and inspiring. Amy's son Johnathan is diagnosed with the debilitating disease Multiple Sclerosis at a young age. She manages to channel her grief into a project: playgrounds accessible to children of all abilities. Amy copes with her feelings by making a difference in the lives of countless children. This book is truly inspirational and should be on everyone's reading list.
