Summer’s School: Lessons Taught Along a Journey Through Foster Care, Disability, and Health Care by the Bravest Girl I Know by Michael J. Hoggatt
The world promotes the lie that the wounded have little to offer. Individuals with disabilities, children in the U.S. foster care system, and people navigating loss are often sidelined by a culture that finds little room for these individuals or their contributions.
Summer Joy has experienced loss, abuse, and the marginalization that is far too often associated with carrying a label of disability. Yet, her faith in God never wavers. Her life, now at fifteen, is one that proclaims that God is a God of healing, redemption and purpose.
- This book is an attempt to provide insight into some lessons God has taught through Summer’s life of faith.
- This book is for those who make their home alongside those the world so often neglects.
- This is a book about hope.
- This is a book about what God can, and will, do.
Summer’s School is organized around eight key lessons learned from Summer, exploring themes such as loss, hope, belonging, priorities, grace, gratitude, courage, beauty and patience. It’s chock full of practical advice and enlightening wisdom gleaned along the way. Relevant passages from the Bible passages and works of writers, scholars and other luminaries provide additional perspective.
Summer’s School shines like a beacon of light in a dark world, a light illuminating the good in humanity. It’s impossible not to be affected when reading this book. Read our full review here.
