Aprašymas

A Journey Like No Other is a collection of stories about ordinary individuals and families who make extraordinary choices, often because of the impediments placed upon them by their own physical limitations, by governmental agencies, and sometimes by an often unaware and uncaring culture.

By virtue of their unique situations, their lifestyles are unconventional, requiring creativity and tenacity in order to thrive. And thrive they do, even while overcoming adversity.

You will meet a single mother whose love and patience helped her surmount the political and governmental obstacles of international adoption--a mother whose toddler son from an impoverished country is now seeking advanced degrees at a major university. You will meet a handicapped woman whose determination resulted in outdoor recreational opportunities for people who are wheelchair users. And you will meet a woman who lost not one, but two husbands to major illnesses, a woman who moved pass the devastation of grief and helped others through their loss.

Each of these situations and others in the book took those involved on a journey like no other, a journey that resulted in personal growth, in compassion, and a purpose initially unknown to them.
