***The Unbreakable Boy* is the raucously tender story of the life of a teenage boy with a rare brittle-bone disease who joyfully embraces life's tragedies and triumphs--and the inspiring story of how his father was transformed through their journey together.**
Like any other teenage boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other eighteen-year-olds, he has a rare brittle-bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn't let any of that stop him. His is a world where suffering a broken back is a minor inconvenience and the quest for the ultimate strawberry shake just might be the best day of his life.
Austin's journey dares readers to believe that
* miracles *are* possible; * hope *does* spring eternal; and * we *can* find joyous moments to celebrate every day.
Written with remarkable candor by Austin's father, Scott, and *New York Times* best-selling author Susy Flory, *The Unbreakable Boy* weaves the beautiful and often humorous tale of how Austin teaches his father--and everyone else he encounters--to have faith in God and trust that one day life's messes will all make sense.
