"If you are in grief, the night rarely brings rest and relief. Often that is when all the questions, hurts and tears find a way to come out. Doug calls that being lonely to the bone. Doug has brought his best discussions about loss and the grief journey in this book/journal and discusses how to find help and comfort along the way. He calls this a conversation about grief and has provided blank pages after each chapter to give you a space to respond and write down your thoughts."--P. [4] of cover.

A STORY OF DETERMINED MEN AND WOMEN WHO MADE AND HEARD THAT LAUGHTER The fifteen men and women whose stories you are about to read never thought for one moment—while they were going through their particular kind of hell—that anyone would ever write a book about them. In the months and years during which they faced and fought their war with life they could think only such thoughts as “How will I face the future?” “How can I go on living?” “Why did this happen to me?” “Will the world ever accept me as an ordinary human being?” Today, these men and women, who became extraordinary human beings—each in his own way—tell their individual and incredible stories through Henry Viscardi, Jr., probably the one man in the world who could put down on paper all that they experienced, all that they won, all that they now—after victory—have to say to us. A LAUGHTER IN THE LONELY NIGHT is the guts-deep, unvarnished, often unlovely, but always thrilling account of fifteen people whom the world rejected as “cripples” and how they, together with hundreds more, crashed their way through their own self-rejection and the laughter (often of their own making) which they heard over and over again in the lonely night. Here is their story of personal and professional victory. Who are they? They are workers in the million-dollar-a-year industry called Abilities, Inc.—the world-famous company founded by the author, where only the severely disabled can get jobs, from the president (Henry Viscardi was born with stumps of legs) on down. Henry Viscardi has let them tell their stories in their own words, and throughout the book you can hear the many sounds their voices make—angry cries, determined statements, ribald jokes, tender encouragement, and laughter—the language of the kind of courage most people can only imagine.

The instant New York Times bestseller and publishing phenomenon: Marina Keegan’s posthumous collection of award-winning essays and stories “sparkles with talent, humanity, and youth” (O, The Oprah Magazine). Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at The New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of writing that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story “Cold Pastoral” was published on NewYorker.com. Her essay “Even Artichokes Have Doubts” was excerpted in the Financial Times, and her book was the focus of a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times. Millions of her contemporaries have responded to her work on social media. As Marina wrote: “We can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over…We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.” The Opposite of Loneliness is an unforgettable collection of Marina’s essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to impact the world. “How do you mourn the loss of a fiery talent that was barely a tendril before it was snuffed out? Answer: Read this book. A clear-eyed observer of human nature, Keegan could take a clever idea...and make it something beautiful” (People).
