{"product_id":"a-season-of-loss-a-john-manasso-9781770410602","title":"A Season of Loss, a Lifetime of Forgiveness: The Dan Snyder and Dany Heatley Story","description":"Dan Snyder narrowly escaped being cut from his junior hockey team for two years in a row. That's hardly the stuff that nhl careers are made of. But Snyder earned his spot on the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers roster through sheer force of will and strength of character, even though scouts thought the odds were against him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThose who knew Snyder describe him as the kind of person others naturally gravitated towards. One of those people was Dany Heatley, college star, All-Star, and marked one of the nhl's next great players. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn September 29, 2003, while driving down a treacherous Atlanta road with Snyder, Heatley lost control of his car. Snyder was injured, and died in hospital six days later. The lives of his family, friends, and teammates changed forever, as they searched for meaning and healing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, authorities in Atlanta charged Heatley with vehicular homicide. Snyder's family, however, took a path of forgiveness and reconciliation--a path that is ingrained in the Mennonite tradition from which they hail. While some might lash out against an easy target, the Snyders invited Heatley and his parents into their lives in an effort to make peace with their grief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis paperback edition contains an afterword by the Snyder family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Manasso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770410600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770410602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"John Manasso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334510629119,"sku":"9781770410602","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c445872-13ff-41f6-b8f2-6baad5a18f52.jpg?v=1731467021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-season-of-loss-a-john-manasso-9781770410602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
