The Match and The Spark offers experience and insight through the lens of a parent, fighting time and protocol to save her chronically ill child. This is not the story of a patient as much as it is the journey of his advocate. Family members and loved ones of a person diagnosed with a serious illness can often battle immense fear, isolation, and guilt. Casey Bradley Gent's memoir illuminates her realization that feeling wrecked does not equal being broken; that in between the sad days, and hospital stays, it is imperative to seek out joyful moments. Beau Gent's diagnosis was part of him, but it did not define him. The author learned families with a critically ill child can call out the sickness, and give it a label, without giving the disease complete power over their days.At age thirteen, Beau learned to redefine power in his days. Because of his autoimmune disease, he was sick before every baseball game-but played anyway, every single weekend. At nineteen, he became a dialysis patient, studying biochemistry as the machinery cleaned his blood. Beau remained a full-time college student throughout his battle with kidney failure. And his mother remained his fulltime advocate, all the way through to his transplant victory and beyond. The Match and The Spark is a rollercoaster story. And just like a wild ride with twists and hills, at the end, there is a sense of exhilaration. A sense of "We did it!" that will comfort families who must be resilient in the face of grave challenges. Casey Bradley Gent is a Colorado native, wife, and mother to three beloved children. The owner of Snowshoe Studios photography, she has photographed presidents Clinton and Obama, two Super Bowls, and countless weddings. Casey is an outdoor enthusiast who loves to run, hike, and play with her dogs and reindeer in the Colorado mountains.

The book is a gripping memoir: Nabil Khouri's journey from Arab militant to proud American.As a young boy growing up in Jordan in the 1960s, there were only two things he believed in--the power of his automatic rifle and the certainty that Western culture was evil. THE YOUNG TERRORIST recounts his transformation from a proud member of a Palestinian militia group to an even prouder American citizen. Nabil spent much of his youth in Jordan. He experienced the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, as well as civil wars in Jordan (a conflict known as Black September) and Lebanon in the 1970s. At the age of eleven, he joined the Arabic Liberation Front (ALF) not out of any great allegiance to the Palestinian cause but for a child's reason: It would convince the Jordanian Muslim boys to stop bullying him for being a Lebanese Christian. This memoir describes what followed: his experiences confronting death and violence as a preteen terror group member, the first tastes of Western culture as a teen in Spain, an unexpected return to the Middle East during Lebanon's civil war, and his escape to America. Becoming immersed in the group's radical militia ideology warped Nabil's sense of identity and tore at the fabric of his family. However, he ultimately appreciated the opportunities and freedoms of life and education in the United States, unlocking his own "American dream." Nabil Khouri built a successful career in engineering after emigrating to the United States at the age of 19. After marrying his American-born wife, Mary, they settled in the Southern United States. Nabil Khouri does a variety of volunteer work within his community that includes advancing interest in, and knowledge of, Middle Eastern culture. He loves traveling internationally with his wife.
