Exhibit A: herself.In the foreword, Steve Gleason – former NFL player with the New Orleans Saints, now living with ALS, and a friend of Emery's son, Ben Schneider, front man for the band Lord Huron – provides a compelling introduction to what we can gain from what we lose.Emery was a daughter, sister and mother – and lost all those roles. She was a journalist, public relations consultant, and teacher – and never able to speak fluently.Her memoir recounts Emery's challenges and achievements, tracing her efforts to give them meaning and find where they fit in her life. It's a process she considers vital to surviving what happens to you – telling the story. This is a reaffirming example of how it can be done.About the author:Sharon Emery is a communicator who struggles to speak.
