Special Mention |
"Fragile Innocence" by
reporter James Reston.
Author and
father of a mentally challenged daughter, Reston was
stunned when Hillary, his beautiful perfect
baby, suddenly suffered a never-explained stroke
at two years old. After five days of high fever,
which "interrupted the blood flow to her brain and
damaged significant portions of her brain, including
her language center, " his child was caged in a
young toddler's mind forever. A father's pain and
suffering and redemption--a story of love, once
again, triumphing over despair. |
