The Unbreakable Boy
is the raucously tender story of the life of a teenage boy with a rare brittle-bone disease who joyfully embraces life's tragedies and triumphs—and the inspiring story of how his father was transformed through their journey together.
Like any other teenage boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other eighteen-year-olds, he has a rare brittle-bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn't let any of that stop him. His is a world where suffering a broken back is a minor inconvenience and the quest for the ultimate strawberry shake just might be the best day of his life.
Austin's journey dares readers to believe that
miracles
are
possible;
hope
does
spring eternal; and
we
can
find joyous moments to celebrate every day.
Written with remarkable candor by Austin's father, Scott, and
New York Times
best-selling author Susy Flory,
weaves the beautiful and often humorous tale of how Austin teaches his father—and everyone else he encounters—to have faith in God and trust that one day life's messes will all make sense.
