This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

Journalist John Schneider chronicles the compelling true story of Richard Prangley, a man who was unjustly institutionalized for fifteen years yet has managed to become not only a productive citizen but also an effective advocate for the developmentally disabled.

Richard Prangley, whose story has been the focus of a documentary and wide national media coverage, including CBS's Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt, is an inspirational figure whose life reflects the human spirit at is resilient, triumphant best. In Waiting for Home Schneider tells the complete story, from Prangley's committal to the Coldwater State Home and Training School at age 6, to his struggles with socialization after being released at age 21, to his successful stand for the rights of the handicapped as a lobbyist in places like the Michigan State Capitol and the White House.
