"A graphic novel memoir recounting one parent's unique and wrenching journey caring for a child with a terminal diagnosis. When Rick and Emily's infant son Ronan is diagnosed with Tay-Sachs, an incurable neurological disorder, they are faced with the practical and emotional hurdles of parenting and loving their son--despite the shadow of inevitable loss. Rick Louis narrates this original graphic memoir, with illustrator Lara Antal translating the space that Ronan occupies before, during, and after his life, using flights of fancy and imagination to express the bizarre, heartbreaking, and sometimes even silly reality of human beings suddenly trapped in an impossible situation"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It's the sort of book my wife looks at aghast and asks, "Why would you read that?" If she had been raised Catholic like me, I imagine she would also toss in a sign of the cross. And, yeah, it's brutal, but it's also a powerful means to ignite compassion and introspection.
Ronan's mother seems a very strong and interesting woman, and I had lingering thoughts about her side of the story as I read Louis' account. It turns out I do not need to wonder as she is memoirist who has published under the names Emily Rapp and Emily Rapp Black. Her books The Still Point of the Turning World and Sanctuary cover Ronan's life and its aftermath. I'm not sure I'll read them, but my library has both, and I'm going to check out the first and flip through it. (
