{"product_id":"full-tilt-boogie-hal-walter-9780967714813","title":"Full Tilt Boogie: A journey into autism, fatherhood, and an epic test of man and beast","description":"Struggling with the challenges of raising his autistic son, a rapidly changing career, and advancing middle age, writer Hal Walter sets out with a jenny donkey to win a seventh World Championship at one of the most obscure endurance sports on the planet. Walter's \"Full Tilt Boogie - A journey into autism, fatherhood, and an epic test of man and beast\" unfolds as a series of vignettes that weave together to tell a compelling story of determination, love and perseverance in the face of adversity. Following the lead of many writers who have literally pinned the \"tale\" on a donkey - from Robert Louis Stevenson to Zane Grey to the more contemporary Tim Moore - Walter lets the Rocky Mountains and the challenges of the gritty sport of pack-burro racing serve as a framework for the story. But \"Full Tilt Boogie\" is really about Walter's greatest challenge yet - parenting his autistic son, Harrison. The book is packed with parallels and metaphors for life's rocky trails. Says magazine columnist Martha Quillen in her review of the book: \"This is an incredibly honest account of a father trying to do his best in the face of uncertainty. \"Full Tilt Boogie\" overflows with love, commitment, fear, hope, and courage, and is a powerful tale of a man preparing himself to face the long haul.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hal Walter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0967714818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780967714813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Out There Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.48d","brand":"Hal Walter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46670399013119,"sku":"9780967714813","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/full-tilt-boogie-hal-walter-9780967714813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
