Book Description
Through parenting a child with a disability, a father discovers patience, acceptance, and unconditional love. In 1987, Paul Austin and his wife Sally were newlyweds, excited about their future together and happily anticipating the birth of their first child. He was a medical student and she was a nurse. Everything changed the moment the doctor rushed their infant daughter from the room just after her birth, knowing instantly that something was wrong. Sarah had almond-shaped eyes, a single crease across her palm instead of three, and low-set ears—all of which suggested that the baby had Down syndrome. Beginning on the day Sarah is born and ending when she is a young adult living in a group home, Beautiful Eyes is the story of a father's journey toward acceptance of a child who is different. In a voice that is unflinchingly honest and unerringly compassionate, Austin chronicles his life with his daughter: watching her learn to walk and talk and form her own opinions, making decisions about her future, and navigating cultural assumptions and prejudices—all the while confronting, with poignancy and moving candor, his own limitations as her father. It is Sarah herself, who, in her own coming of age and her own reconciling with her difference, teaches her father to understand her. Time and again, she surprises him: performing Lady Gaga’s "Poker Face" at a talent show; explaining how the word "retarded" is hurtful; reacting to the events of her life with a mixture of love, pain, and humor; and insisting on her own humanity in a world that questions it. As Sarah begins to blossom into herself, her father learns to look past his daughter’s disability and see her as the spirited, warmhearted, and uniquely wise person she is.

Book Description
BEAUTIFUL EYES CAN BE YOURS What is the first thing you notice when you look at a person's face? Most people will answer, "the eyes." This book outlines the components of "beautiful eyes" that are framed by the eyelids. Any distortion of the eyelids detracts from the observer's view of the eyes. Eyes brighten to create a refreshed, symmetrically unoperated appearance when cosmetic restorative eyelid surgery is performed without changing the shape of the eyes. Dr. Mauriello's patients who undergo eyelid surgery are grateful for this change and understand his unique small incisional techniques that elevate the upper cheek to its natural position at the time of routine cosmetic eyelid surgery and rejuvenate the entire face. In this second edition of Beautiful Eyes, all your questions about cosmetic eyelid surgery are answered. While no reading material replaces the benefits of a one-on-one pre-surgical consultation, this book helps you determine whether you are a candidate for cosmetic surgery and provides you with pertinent questions to present to the surgeon. Testimonials and practical tips from his patients who have benefited from cosmetic eyelid surgery provide the patient's perspective. Cosmetic eyelid surgery: the only cosmetic eyelid surgery Dr. Mauriello performs

The Most Beautiful Thing I've Seen

Languages : en
Pages : 224

Book Description
Lisa Gungor thought she knew her own story: small-town girl meets boy in college and they blissfully walk down the aisle into happily ever after. Their Christian faith was their lens and foundation for everything—their marriage, their music, their dreams for the future. But as their dreams began to come true, she began to wonder if her religion was really representative of the ‘good news’ she had been taught. She never expected the questions to lead as far as they did when her husband told her he no longer believed in God. The death of a friend, the unraveling of relationships and career, the loss of a worldview, and the birth of a baby girl with two heart defects all led Lisa to a tumultuous place; one of depression and despair. And it was there that her perspective on everything changed. The Most Beautiful Thing I’ve Seen tells the story of what can happen when you dare to let go of what you think to be true; to shift the kaleidoscope and see new colors and dimension by way of broken pieces. Lisa’s eloquent, soul-stirring memoir brings you to a music stage before thousands of fans and a front porch where two people whisper words that scare them to the core. It is the story of how doubt can spark the beginning of deeper faith; how a baby born with a broken heart can bring love and healing to the hearts of many, and ultimately, how the hardest experience in life often ends up saving us.
