{"product_id":"i-am-full-dan-yashinsky-9781773241272","title":"I Am Full: Stories for Jacob","description":"\u003cp\u003eDan Yashinsky's son Jacob died tragically in a car accident at the age of 26. Dan, Jacob and Jacob's best friend Effie were driving back to Toronto after a magical trip to Montreal when Dan fell asleep at the wheel and crashed. Dan and Effie survived, but Jacob did not. When the unimaginable happens--a parent is still somehow here but their child is gone--all that's left are stories. In the process of grieving his son, Dan realized that he was now Jacob's storykeeper, and \u003ci\u003eI Am Full\u003c\/i\u003e is Jacob's story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacob's death is the least interesting thing about him. How he lived, the kind of man he became, is what matters most. All his life, Jacob had struggled with Prader-Willi Syndrome, but rather than let it defeat him, he became an advocate for people suffering from PWS as well as people coping with various other disabilities. He was a jewelry-maker, a photographer, a songwriter, a TPS crossing guard, and an avid fisherman. Six months after Jacob's death, Dan began to gather and create the texts that make up this chronicle, all the while guided by Jacob's imagined voice. The events in \u003ci\u003eI Am Full\u003c\/i\u003e are drawn from many periods of Jacob's life. Much of it--poems, sayings, speeches, letters, notes--are in Jacob's own words and the rest is told in his imagined voice narrating things that Dan saw him do or hear him talk about. Jacob's voice has been captured and carried in this unique book, which goes beyond the terrible grief of losing a child to preserving and sharing his story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Yashinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773241273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773241272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.37d","brand":"Dan Yashinsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721405255935,"sku":"9781773241272","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ca21334-9d84-4d8a-b6a0-a2e7732a4f37.jpg?v=1742752773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-full-dan-yashinsky-9781773241272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
