{"product_id":"9780986135309","title":"Feel Me Brave: A Chronicle of Illness, Loss, and Living Beyond","description":"Neither Jessica Stout nor her father, Walter Horak, set out to publish this book, both authors wishing foremost and forevermore that there had never been a reason.\u003cp\u003eYet love for a little boy compelled them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEEL ME BRAVE began as a blog by Jessica to keep her family and friends abreast of her young son's struggle with an incurable disease. But the power of her prose-unflinchingly honest, piercingly insightful, and on occasion startlingly humorous-settled deeply into the hearts of people following Ryland Stout's journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaught up in the same struggle, Walter began to write poetry as he groped for a way to express a grief that tormented his entire family, even as each day brought them closer to that inevitable moment of parting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver time, the idea took hold to merge the words of father and daughter into unique, shared testimony. And readers urged that it find a wide audience, especially those facing serious life challenges or simply contemplating its difficult mysteries. The result is this remarkable book, a \"treasure\" in Dr. Ira Byock's estimation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure, FEEL ME BRAVE invites you to open your own heart and to dwell a while within those deep places that make us all more fully human.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Woodstock Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49778819989744,"sku":"9780986135309","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986135309_p0.jpg?v=1780092753","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986135309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
