Visit my website: www.freewebs.com/mario5o/ ******************** "God's Gift" is about my son who has Stickler's syndrome! ******************** "Mario S. Fedele has written a story not only about the challenges of raising a child with special healthcare needs, but a story of family life and the everyday tests each of us face as we make this journey through life." Debbie Oliver Executive Director AboutFace USA My copy of "God's Gift" has changed hands so many times I've lost track of it! Good things are always worth sharing. Christy Prescott I predict that "God's Gift" will be on Oprah's recommended book list one day soon. James Shepherd I hope you don't mind, but I e-mailed Ophrah on your book. It truly helped my daughter and myself! Debbie Brogdon God's Gift "A touching memoir of overcoming insurmountable odds and how faith, love and family can be the glue that binds." Champagne Books Available for order - Click on image: Synopsis I had no clue in how to raise a child and engaged in the endeavor as well I could. The task would have been daunting enough had our baby been healthy, but with the medical problems that ensued, the challenge became frightfully overwhelming. In reading this book, the reader will be drawn into our struggles and tribulations, and will come away having gained valuable insights into areas such as behavior modification, temper tantrums, dietary concerns, night-bottle syndrome, scoliosis, Reye's syndrome, Stickler's syndrome, and so much more. Interspersed in this mix are humorous situations to add levity and fascinating snippets to keep the reader well entertained. In spite of all his limitations, I consider our son to be a true gift from God. Hence, the title of the book, "God's Gift." In fact, the meaning of the name, Shaun, translates to "God's gracious gift." Excerpt Hearing that my son would have to go under the knife was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I was so confused and depressed that I didn't know what to do and wished I could block out all the concerns weighing in on me. Even though I'd reached the saturation point, there remained another grave matter I was trying to cope with and resolve. Being denied the opportunity to hold and cuddle my son, seeing he still required the incubator, I was having great difficulty in bonding with him. Surrounded by so much hardship, my feelings came to a head, and, in a moment of weakness, I blurted out to Ann the thought that was occupying my mind. "Ann, perhaps it would have been better if we'd never had this baby!" I felt so alienated and distanced from him, I couldn't even bring myself to call him by name. With her motherly instinct rising to the fore, she admonished me severely. "Hush, Mario! I won't have you talk like that! He's God's very own gift to us!" }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} }}}}}}} Vicki P. Bowman's memoir, "Spiral Into Hell," is now available!

But I also enjoy writing children's stories, which I illustrate myself. On rare moments, I like to dabble in music composition (though I can't carry a tune should my life depend on it), and on occassion, I try my hand at drawing. I love going for long walks with my dog, Buddy, and I especially prize being in the company of family.
