Produktbeschreibung

Do you believe the two greatest days in your life are the day you are born and the day you understand why? Scottish theologian William Barclay did and so do the unique individuals you will meet in this non-fiction work by author and sports photojournalist Jerry Norton. Reasons Why is a collection of engaging essays of people in diverse fields who understand their purpose in life. Among them are a National Football League star and his wife who shaped genetic research for an orphan disease that would claim the life of their son. You will meet a Japanese American who lived through the 1945 atomic bomb explosion on Hiroshima and a survivor of US Airways' FL 1549 Miracle on the Hudson. There is an improv actor teaching communication skills to doctors and a landscaper turned ballroom dance instructor. The military is represented by a naval aviator who endured 8 months as a Vietnam prisoner of war in the "e;Hanoi Hilton"e; and a double amputee Wounded Warrior turned yoga instructor. Special sections are devoted to fallen war heroes and heroes from the 9/11 terrorist attack.
