The moving tribute to the young man Oprah Winfrey called "an
inspiration"-told by the woman who raised him.
Mattie Stepanek's "Heartsongs" books were a phenomenon. Not only
did they hit the bestseller lists, but the books-and Mattie
himself- were a source of inspiration to many, and brought him
major recognition. Jimmy Carter described young Mattie Stepanek as
"the most remarkable person I have ever known."
In "Messenger," Jeni Stepanek shares the inspiring story of her
son's life. Mattie was born with a rare disorder called
Dysautonomic Mitochondrial Myopathy, and Jeni was advised to
institutionalize him. Instead, she nurtured a child who transformed
his hardships into a worldwide message of peace and hope. Though
Mattie suffered through his disease, his mother's disabilities, and
the loss of his three older siblings, he never abandoned his
positive spirit. His Heartsong- the word he used to describe a
person's inner self-spread a philosophy that peace begins with an
attitude and can spread to the entire world.
