{"product_id":"a-wonderful-life-lionel-wilkes-9780244966645","title":"A Wonderful Life: Of love, loss and heartache","description":"In this deeply moving book, Lionel tells the story of his son Ian, whose short life was plagued by epilepsy, autism and various other ailments. Even as a beautiful baby, Ian was already showing signs of illness that would rule his and his family s waking hours. His erratic behavior, violent tantrums and fits; the medical profession's ignorance or indifference, meant the Wilkes s had to cope almost single-handed with the stress of their son's disability. His untimely death at the age of 35 left his parents with feelings of guilt and sorrow, compounded by a dubious coroner's verdict. Yet this is no bleak account of a wasted life. Despite the downside, Ian emerges as a lively affectionate young man with a wonderfully supportive family. This is ultimately a story about optimism strength and unconditional love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lionel Wilkes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244966648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244966645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.20d","brand":"Lionel Wilkes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440927224063,"sku":"9780244966645","price":7.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aebbab5-6298-4b1b-bb0e-87bc58c40dea.jpg?v=1777187590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-wonderful-life-lionel-wilkes-9780244966645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
