Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
In this intimate social history of the human will in action, a dazzling array of survivors provide inspirational epilogues to their personal disasters. We hear from Jim Brady, Ronald Reagan's press secretarymc , who was shot in the head during the attempted assassination of the president; from Georgeann Fuller, who lost her husband in the bombing of Pam Am flight 103; and from dancer Bill T. Jones, whose lover and dance partner, Arnie Zane, died of AIDS. Betty Ford, Larry King and Peggy Say (sister of recently freed Middle East hostage Terry Anderson) contribute testimony. what is this?/got me; should have been queried earlier; not in dictionary and can't find it in the galley, so I've cut.gs Doctors, psychologists, priests and a rabbi are among the 50 people who examine their bouts with catastrophe. Those who have suffered have a greater capacity for intimacy and make winning friends, concludes one minister. Wholey's ( The Courage to Change ) assembled accounts offer incandescent proof. (May)
Library Journal
Hardship and misfortune are part of human life, and the resulting physical or emotional pain may seem unbearable at times. This collection of interviews focuses on the personal stories of 50 individuals who have experienced great adversity and have courageously overcome it. The interviews, presented as short essays and prefaced by the author's succinct comments, focus on such hardships as physical handicap, divorce, addiction, disease, and the death of loved ones. Some of those profiled are well-known personalities (Jim Brady, Betty Ford), but most are individuals whose stories are not widely known (a war widow, a handicapped dentist, an AIDS patient). They provide inspiring role models of people who have grown stronger and more caring by turning misfortune into an opportunity for positive growth. An inspirational and beneficial resource for those in pain, and a thought-provoking book for those whose minor problems loom large.-- Ilse Heidmann Ali, formerly with Motlow State Community Coll., Tullahoma, Tenn.
