Non-Fiction Memoir
mmortal Bird is a searing account of a father's struggle to
save his remarkable son from a rare heart condidtion that
threatens his life. It is a moving story of a young boy's
passion for life, a family's love, the perils of modern
medicine, and the redemptive power of art in the face of the
unthinkable. Damon Weber is a brilliant kid—a skilled actor and a natural
leader at school. Born with a congenital heart defect that
required surgery when he was a baby, Damon’s spirit and
independence have always been a source of pride to his
parents, who vigilantly look for any signs of danger. Unbowed by frequent medical checkups, Damon proves to be a
talent on stage, appears in David Milch’s HBO series
Deadwood, and maintains an active social life, whenever he
has the energy. But running through Damon’s coming-of-age in
the shadow of affliction is another story: Doron’s
relentless search for answers about his son’s condition in a
race against time.
