Read through the month and join us to discuss "Learning to Fall: The Blessings of an Imperfect Life," written by Phillip Simmons.
Philip Simmons, Ph.D., was just 35 years old in 1993 when he learned that he had ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease...With two young children and at the start of a promising academic and literary career, he suddenly had to say goodbye. And by learning the art of dying he succeeded, against the odds, in learning the art of living. (Learningtofall.com)
"Philip Simmons is that rare and necessary human being—one with the courage to see things as they are, for better and worse. He possesses an invaluable gift: the capacity to take the rest of us where he has been and where he is going."
-Rebecca Pepper Sinkler, former editor, The New York Times Book Review.
