Still Life: A Memoir
Summary
An inspiring and brilliantly observed memoir in the manner of When Breath Becomes Air and Tuesdays with Morrie. "The expression "still waters run deep" has never been more apt. Jeff Sutherland's Still Life is the training manual all of us need for how to face terrible loss and redefine the good life. If only Job could have read it." (Mo Rocca, CBS Sunday Morning) Father, husband, athlete, medical doctor, Jeff Sutherland had built a perfect life for himself and his family. Then, he noticed that he was losing strength in his left arm. He visited a specialist, and from that appointment, he writes, "Deep personal loss, for some unknown reason, wrapped its tentacles around me and my family." Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Jeff lost his abilities to walk and speak within two years and, confined to a wheelchair, was forced to retire from his life's work as a physician at 43. Not long after, he was locked in his own inanimate body, unable to eat, drink, or breathe without assistance. His meals were delivered through a feeding tube, and a ventilator controlled his lungs through an opening in his throat. The only parts of his body he was able to move voluntarily were his eyes. Despite these extreme limitations, Sutherland made peace with his disease and, surrounded by his loving family, he found happiness again...only to suffer another soul-shattering loss. His eldest son, Zachary, a lifeguard, drowned along with his girlfriend in a freak kayaking accident in the river behind the family home. "Despite everything I lost through ALS," he says, "Zachary's death was worse." Yet again, through a long process of suffering and healing, Sutherland was able to accept his loss and find a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in his constricted life. His story, laboriously written on a computerized device that tracks his eye movements on a visual keyboard, is a testament to both the human will's ability to overcome unspeakable tragedy and the power of familial love to heal incomprehensible pain. "When a negative change occurs," writes Sutherland, "we have to choose how we will face it. We can be paralyzed with fear or we can make the choice to integrate it into our lives, make peace with it, and eventually grow from it. With any change, good or bad, personal growth is the ideal outcome. It is my belief that this our soul's mission on earth."

Worth a Thousand Words
Summary
When your world is small, you get to know it by the way it sounds. Every nuance - the ticking of a clock, the draw of the bow over the cello strings, the lub dub of his heart under your ear.
Noah’s always been a little strange, a little awkward. That was okay. He was comfortable the way he was, and he didn’t need to prove himself to anyone. And then the attack happened, and his world shrank to the walls of his apartment. All he has left is his music...and the thrill of gazing out the window to peer into the life of the man next door.
The world is a riot of colors. Reds, yellows, blues, greens. The color of a man’s solitude and the way the vibrations of music dance on the canvas.
Parker’s desperate to prove himself. Born deaf in a hearing world, his entire life has been a struggle to be seen, to be heard. Maybe that’s why he turned to painting - expressing himself through color and texture on canvas. And maybe that’s why he’s so curious about the sad, lonely man next door...the one who stirs his blood and leaves him hungry for more.
