SUMMARY:Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Disability Network’s Online Book Club meets every few months\, giving everyone plenty of time to get and read the next book. A special thanks to our friends at Disability Network Mid-Michigan for a great collaborative with us\, making these Online Book Club discussions even better! \n\n\n\nPlease note the date/time change from Thursday\, September 14th\, to the new date/time listed below. \n\n\n\nJoin us online to discuss Work with What You Got on: \n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 6th\, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. — (Registration is now closed.)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElite wheelchair racer and wrestler Zion Clark joins with New York Times best-selling author James S. Hirsch for a stunning memoir—recounting childhood adversity\, awe-inspiring perseverance\, and self-invention. \n\n\n\nWhen a baby named Zion was born in 1997 to an imprisoned\, drug-addicted mother\, his future seemed bleak. Born without legs due to a rare condition called caudal regression syndrome\, Zion was abandoned and shunted to a foster-care system ill-equipped to care for him. In this stirring memoir\, readers will follow as he is bounced from home to home\, subjected to abuse\, neglect\, and inconceivable hardship. Somehow\, Zion finds supportive angels along the way: his first two foster families\, who offer a haven; the wrestling coach who senses his “warrior spirit” and nurtures it; the woman of fierce faith who adopts a seventeen-year-old and cheers his every match. From the play-by-play narration of how Zion adapts wrestling moves to defeat able-bodied opponents\, wielding phenomenal arm and hand strength\, to accounts of his extraordinary work ethic\, unflagging optimism\, and motivational speaking\, this is an inspirational story of courage that will appeal to any athlete who respects determination\, any young person facing adversity\, and any reader who wants to believe in the human spirit. \n\n\n\nRegister:\n\n\n\nRegistration is now Closed. We will be taking a temporary break from Online Book Club and will update you all of any changes in the future. Thank you all for your participation! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: Clicking the button below to add this event to your calendar does not take the place of registration. You still need to provide your contact information above.
