Saving Shannon: A Family's Story of Strength and Devotion

Viac o knihe

A family comes together in the wake of tragedy in Paul J. Mulhern's powerful memoir of a love that knows no bounds. It was a beautiful summer day when three-year-old Shannon was hit by an SUV and thrown forty feet in the air. Despite heroic attempts of medical professionals on the scene and at the hospital, Shannon fell into a coma. With skull fractures and brain swelling and bleeding, Shannon's prognosis was bleak. But even on the darkest days, her parents believed in Shannon's smallest victories. Throughout Shannon's time in a coma, various hospitals, rehab, and eventual return to normal life, this story of miraculous recovery proves that celebrating step-by-step progress and commitment to healing can bring about the impossible. Saving Shannon is an uplifting memoir of a family's collective healing and an illustration of how a family copes with a child's traumatic brain injury. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware.
