Non-Fiction Memoir
The moving tribute to the young man Oprah Winfrey called "an
inspiration"-told by the woman who raised him. Mattie
Stepanek's Heartsongs books were a phenomenon. Not only did
they hit the bestseller lists, but the books-and Mattie
himself- were a source of inspiration to many, and brought
him major recognition. Jimmy Carter described young Mattie
Stepanek as "the most remarkable person I have ever known."
In Messenger, Jeni Stepanek shares the inspiring story of
her son's life. Mattie was born with a rare disorder called
Dysautonomic Mitochondrial Myopathy, and Jeni was advised to
institutionalize him. Instead, she nurtured a child who
transformed his hardships into a worldwide message of peace
and hope. Though Mattie suffered through his disease, his
mother's disabilities, and the loss of his three older
siblings, he never abandoned his positive spirit. His
Heartsong- the word he used to describe a person's inner
self-spread a philosophy that peace begins with an attitude
and can spread to the entire world.
