Fierce Joy: A Memoir is a medical mystery, a spiritual adventure,
and a love story. Ellen Schecter had everything she ever wanted: a
loving marriage, two great kids, and her dream career writing
children's books and television programs. Then her life shattered
when she was diagnosed with a painful, potentially fatal disease.
Fierce Joy tells the story of how Schecter found a way to be sick
without suffering and transformed the loss of her place in the
world of work into a quest for her soul. Propelled by illness into
a search for new meanings, she learned to listen to her body and
find healing even though a cure was impossible. Never asking "Why
me?" she instead asked, "What's next?" and forged a new life
paradoxically filled with joy. AUTHOR: Ellen Schecter has published
many books for children. Her first novel, The Big Idea (Hyperion),
won the Americas Book Award for Children's and Young Adult
Literature. Her Family Haggadah (Viking) was a Book-of-the-Month
and Jewish Book Club selection. Schecter has written or
collaborated on many multi-award-winning TV series for children and
families, including: "Reading Rainbow," hosted by LeVar Burton on
PBS; "The Magic School Bus," starring Lily Tomlin as Ms. Frizzle;
and "Allegra's Window" on Nick, Jr. She was executive producer of
the award-winning documentary "Voices of Lupus," which was
distributed free to every English-speaking Lupus Foundation in the
world.
