Description
"You keep fighting, okay?" I whispered. "We're in this together. You and me. You're not alone. You hear me? You are not alone."
5:38 p.m. It was the precise moment Sean Manning was born and the time each year that his mother wished him happy birthday. But just before he turned twenty-seven, their tradition collapsed. A heart attack landed his mom in the hospital and uprooted Manning from his life in New York. What followed was a testament to a family's indestructible bond-a life-changing odyssey that broke a boy and made a man-captured here in Manning's indelible memoir.
