Summary

This book is the inspiration of my third son, Arthur, nineteen years of age at the time it was written. Its title has been something of a family joke. At certain moments when caught up in the throes of a domestic squabble, we were near our wits' end I would pipe up with a note of sympathy: It's hard raising parents. Understandably, the phrase caught on with our four children. Over the years, this remark has provided a timely dose of relief.

This book, however, is not a joke. Rather, it is the bittersweet fruit of two and a half years, walking the razor's edge with Arthur—a tightrope walker, clown, mime, and courageous human being.

During this time, Arthur summoned up his courage to confront questions that many of us never have to face: Do I really want to go on with life? Is this a world in which I can truly feel at home, a world in which I can be myself? Arthur's questions I took to heart. Thus the sub-title of this offering: A Heart-to-Heart.
