Topic: Letters to Sam: A Grandfather’s Lessons on Love, Loss, and the Gifts of Life
Guest: Daniel Gottlieb, Psychologist And Award-wining Radio Host And Newspaper Columnist
When his grandson was born, Daniel Gottlieb began to write a series of heartfelt letters that he hoped Sam would read later in life. What motivated him was the fear that he might not live long enough to see Sam reach adulthood, because Daniel is a quadriplegic as a result of a near-fatal car accident. When Sam was 14 months old, he was diagnosed with autism. Grandfather and grandson were now bound by something other than family: they both had a disability. Daniel’s special understanding of what that means became invaluable, and the book provides unique and universal insights into what it means to be human.

Guest: Ralph Savarese, Ph.D, Professor of American Literature and Disability Studies at grinell College, parent and author
In his book, Ralph Savarese tells the story of his adopted 14 year old son, DJ. Eleven years ago, the boy was, in Savarese's words "discarded like a piece of trash."
