The Chase family, Shelley and Del and sons, Micah and Nick, lived
in the home they had built in the foothills of Central California
amidst manzanita, cedars and pine. Happy and healthy, the family
worked, romped and played in their hilltop paradise where homegrown
food and family rituals were the norm. All of that changed in the
summer of 1991 when twelve-year-old Micah was diagnosed with acute
myelocytic leukemia. What followed was a nightmarish battle waged
not only in Micah's young body but also on fronts unimaginable and
unconscionable. Narrated by his mother, Eagle Feathers and Angel
Wings chronicles Micah's courage and the demolition of foundations
her family believed were enduring: home, integrity, and the
fulfillment of obligations. Muniz reveals the vivid truth about the
essential rights of the catastrophically ill, struggles with health
care coverage and medical care. This inspiring remembrance is the
documentation of a family's love, their efforts to find answers for
Micah, and a resolution to his pain even after his death. Eagle
Feathers and Angel Wings is much more than a story of loss. It is a
story about living.
