Wall Street Journal Best Seller "This is a holy book" -Rabbi
Lawrence Kushner Graham Hale Gardner died before turning
twenty-three and never learned to walk or speak due to severe
cerebral palsy complicated by epilepsy. Yet he left a legacy of
love and compassion that deeply moved scores of people from widely
different backgrounds. How was that possible? Graham's story,
written through the eyes of his father, speaks of the enormous
legacy left by a boy who never spoke. A story that raises
provocative questions about the "invisible lines of connection"
that make us human. Graham was a strikingly beautiful boy who faced
formidable challenges on a daily basis that most of us will never
encounter. His ability to confront adversity with resilience and
grace astonished and inspired nearly everyone whose lives he
touched. On the bucolic island of Martha's Vineyard, at a
pioneering summer camp for the disabled, a place "where hope
flourishes," Graham and his father become camper and camp doctor.
There, they encounter an eclectic group of people who eat, work and
create together. They write and cry together. They argue and dance
together. Camp Jabberwocky, as it is widely known, embraces the boy
and his father and they become part of a passionate and zany
extended family that will forever change how they see the world. As
the years pass, Graham and his parents experience both surprising
adventures and formidable challenges. Wherever they live and
travel, they encounter people who are drawn to Graham. These
people, from widely different backgrounds, want to be near him, to
assist in his care and to laugh with him. To them, the person they
uniformly cherish is nothing less than a living angel. Can we
imagine living in a parallel universe known as "Jabberwocky," where
people open their hearts and minds to those who are different and
nobody is left behind?
