Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It Was More Than Just A Game... "Boys, be quick with the bat tonight and make sure you time his fastball when you are on deck because you know it is coming," Coach Wright instructed us as we sat nervously in the dugout, watching the Indians' star hurler warm-up, and waiting anxiously for the championship game to begin. It was an epic battle for city bragging rights that played out over two summer months, but the memories lasted much longer. For Alex Marks, the summer of 1991 brought with it his last season in Little League. At the time, it simply was the chance for he and his teammates to win one more title, while facing their greatest challenge. Little did he realize that afterward, his life would never be the same. Over two decades later, Marks' memories are as vibrant as the days themselves, and this memoir follows him reminiscing about a time when everything was simpler, when back doors were still left open, and when he was still blessed with the magic of childhood innocence. Readers, young and old, will enjoy this delightful journey chronicling two months of his adolescent life, where the lessons he learned and the character it forged still have relevance today.

Download or read book Raising a Rare Girl written by Heather Lanier and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Kate Bowler's The Everything Happens Book Club Pick! Award-winning writer Heather Lanier's memoir about raising a child with a rare syndrome, defying the tyranny of normal, and embracing parenthood as a spiritual practice that breaks us open in the best of ways. Like many women of her generation, Heather Lanier did everything by the book when she was expecting her first child. She ate organic foods, recited affirmations, and drew up a birth plan for an unmedicated labor in the hopes that she could create a SuperBaby, an ultra-healthy human destined for a high-achieving future. But her daughter Fiona challenged all of Lanier's preconceptions. Born with an ultra-rare syndrome known as Wolf-Hirschhorn, Fiona received a daunting prognosis: she would experience significant developmental delays and might not reach her second birthday. Not only had Lanier failed to produce a SuperBaby, she now fiercely loved a child that the world would sometimes reject. The diagnosis obliterated Lanier's perfectionist tendencies, along with her most closely held beliefs about certainty, vulnerability, God, and love. With tiny bits of mozzarella cheese, a walker rolled to library story time, a talking iPad app, and a whole lot of pop and reggae, mother and daughter spend their days doing whatever it takes to give Fiona nourishment, movement, and language. They also confront society's attitudes toward disability and the often cruel assumptions made about Fiona's worth. Lanier realizes the biggest question is not, Will my daughter walk or talk? but, How can I best love my girl, just as she is? Loving Fiona opens Lanier up to new understandings of what it means to be human, what it takes to be a mother, and above all, the aching joy and wonder that come from embracing the unique life of her rare girl.
