Synopsis
Every once in awhile fiction transcend boundaries
and speaks to us so fundamentally that we change
our perceptions and sometimes, our lives. While
Tyler Sleeps is just such a novel.
Tyler
Rand. He is normal, healthy and active. He's a
writer whose debut novel has just received
critical acclaim and Rand is walking on cloud
nine. Life is finally coming up roses.
But
life can change in a New York minute and during
what would have otherwise been a short two-minute
stroll home, Tyler Rand falls victim to an
aggressive attack that leaves him in a coma.
We've
seen and heard the stories of people and families
confronted with the legal, moral and ethical
issues surrounding victims of coma and patients
whose lives are reduced to mere vegetative
states. But what would these issues mean if we
were facing them? And what of the victims and
patients? Even medical science admits there have
been people held as silent prisoners insides
bodies that defied outward indication of
awareness.
If
it were you, would you hope for the nearly
impossible--however unlikely--or want the right
to die with dignity? What would your family do
and who would speak for you?
In
this probing and profound exploration of a
private torment in the midst of a public storm,
author J. Ron Richard involves us in a way that
leaves little room for comfortable or unbiased
opinion.
