Part memoir and part medical history, "Real Life Stories" presents
remembrances, personal anecdotes, and stories from the life and
career of Paul Emerson. It also shares the harrowing and
heartwarming story of a young Filipino boy's struggle for survival.
Paul Emerson was born in a small town in Pennsylvania. He grew
up in a close-knit extended family in his grandfather's house. But
his upbringing was much like those of other young boys who were
born in the 1930s. He was seven years old when the Japanese bombed
Pearl Harbor, an event that is etched in his mind forever. He
shares his memories of growing up and of various events in his
adult life.
He also shares the memorable story of Rinor Marcial, a young boy
from the Philippines who was badly burned with gasoline during the
Christmas holiday one year. After being treated by local medical
center, he returned to his bamboo bungalow home, where his sleeping
position caused complications. Rinor was discovered by a missionary
who was determined to get him admitted to a Shriner's Burns
Institute in Galveston, Texas.
His heartwarming story is just one of the many "Real Life
Stories" included in this memorable collection from Paul
Emerson.
