Publisher Description
ExtraOrdinary: An End of Life Story Without End is a spiritual memoir about the miracle of love and compassion here and in the hereafter. Herman Liss became a healer and a teacher in his nineties as his own life was coming to completion. Along the way a teenage boy, Herman's family and friends, and his nursing home and hospice caregivers learned that it is one's own heart that makes the ordinary extraordinary. "The authors recall, in simple but evocative language, how Herman always encouraged others to follow their dreams and how deep was his commitment to treat others as he would want to be treated," says Publishers Weekly. "Readers can expect tears to flow as Herman's life inspires them to be better."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this deeply moving and inspiring account, Tamaren and Wittner share the life story of a man close to their hearts. When Michele's mother, Betty, married Herman Liss (she was 55 and he was 65), Tamaren finally had a father figure she adored. Always joyful, Herman exuded a love for life that was contagious. His sincere concern for others, his keen intelligence, and his natural grace generated hundreds of meaningful friendship throughout his life. Wittner, who first met Herman as a result of a community service requirement in his high school, became a devoted friend to the older man when Herman nearly lost the resolve to live after Betty's death. The authors recall, in simple but evocative language, how Herman always encouraged others to follow their dreams and how deep was his commitment to treat others as he would want to be treated. Readers can expect tears to flow as Herman's life inspires them to be better.
