Matrix Luncheon With Joan Ryan: the Water Giver April 30, 2009

Enjoy a sneak preview of 'The Water Giver,' the third book by award-winning author Marin resident Joan Ryan, one of the first female sports columnists in America. Despite a life-time of achievement and concern for others, nothing prepared her for parenting a child with ADD and significant learning differences. She found herself always trying to fix him, focusing on his deficits instead of his many gifts. 'The Water Giver' is the remarkable story of the accident that put her 16-year-old son in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury and Joan's second chance to become the mother she always wanted to be.
