Remember, You're the Greatest: How one special needs boy taught his father about love, God, and everything else

He finally found a cure for this son's epilepsy. But is he too late?After three years of seizures, Johnny's young son, Sam, experiences a breakthrough. But even as calm comes to Sam's body, the illness makes off with his mind. Violent outbursts, strange obsessions -- what has happened to his sweet boy? As these new convulsions threaten to tear his family apart, Johnny is haunted by his late father's benediction: "Remember, as you go through life, you're the greatest." But how can someone so broken be great? Cinematically weaving three generations of fatherhood, Remember, You're the Greatest is a memoir of hard questions. Of unexpected joy in the ache of mystery. And the power of a special needs child to teach a father what greatness truly looks like.Praise for Remember, You're the Greatest"One of those rare writers whose voice you simply want to listen to.
