I Am Full

Stories for Jacob

Beschreibung

Dan Yashinsky's son Jacob died tragically in a car accident at the age of 26 when Dan fell asleep at the wheel and crashed. All his life, Jacob had struggled with Prader-Willi Syndrome, but rather than let it defeat him, he became an advocate for people suffering from PWS as well as people coping with various other disabilities. His voice has been captured and carried in this unique book, which goes beyond the terrible grief of losing a child to preserving and sharing his story.
