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. |
