Synopsis
From NFL player Steve Gleason, a powerful, inspiring memoir of love, heartbreak, resilience, family, and remarkable triumph in the face of ALS, From NFL player Steve Gleason, a powerful, inspiring memoir of love, heartbreak, resilience, family, and remarkable triumph in the face of ALS "Gleason is a symbol of resilience, hope and optimism." - The New York Times . " Steve Gleason has changed the world." -Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner . "An extraordinary book... A Life Impossible will change the way people cope, think, and live." -Mike Lupica, co-author with James Patterson of 12 Months to Live In 2011, three years after leaving the NFL, Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that takes away the ability to move, talk, and breathe. Doctors gave him three years to live. He was thirty-three years old. As Steve says, he is now ten years past his expiration date. His memoir is the chronicle of a remarkable life, one filled with optimism and joy, despite the trauma and pain and despair he has experienced. Writing using eye-tracking technology, Gleason covers his pre-ALS life through the highs and lows of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, where he made one of the most memorable plays in Saints history, leading to a victory in the first post-Katrina home game, uplifting the city, making him a hero, and reflected in a nine-foot bronze statue outside the Superdome. Then came his heartbreaking diagnosis. Gleason lost all muscle function, he now uses Stephen Hawking-like technology to communicate, and breathes with the help of a ventilator. This book captures Gleason and his wife Michel's unmatched resilience as they reinvent their lives, refuse to succumb to despair, and face his disease realistically and existentially. This unsparing portrait argues that a person's true strength does not reside solely in one's body but also in the ability to face unfathomable adversity and still be able to love and treasure life., In 2011, three years after leaving the NFL, Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a terminal disease that takes away the ability to move, talk, and breathe. Doctors gave him three years to live. He was thirty-three years old. As Steve says, he is now over twelve years past his expiration date. Written using eye-tracking technology, Gleason chronicles his remarkable life, from his pre-ALS days navigating the highs and lows of his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, where he made one of the most memorable plays in Saints history, to his heartbreaking diagnosis, which caused him to lose all muscle function. What follows is Gleason and his wife Michel's unmatched resilience as they refuse to succumb to despair and reinvent their lives, redefine their marriage, and embrace parenthood. Gleason's story is a revelation and proof that a person's true strength does not reside solely in one's body but also in the ability to face unfathomable adversity and still be able to love and treasure life.
