On a day like any other, on a rafting trip down Utah's Green River, Stephane Gerson's eight-year-old son, Owen, drowned in a spot known as Disaster Falls. That same night, as darkness fell, Stephane huddled in a tent with his wife, Alison, and their older son, Julian, trying to understand what seemed inconceivable. 'It's just the three of us now,' Alison said over the sounds of a light rain and, nearby, the rushing river. 'We cannot do it alone. We have to stick together.' Disaster Fallschronicles the aftermath of that day and their shared determination to stay true to Alison's resolution. At the heart of the book is Stephane's portrait of a marriage critically tested. Husband and wife grieve in radically different ways that threaten to isolate each of them in their post-Owen worlds. ('He feels so far,' Stephane says, when Alison shows him a selfie Owen had taken. 'He feels so close,' she says). With beautiful specificity, Stephane shows how they resist that isolation and reconfigure their marriage from within. As Stephane navigates his grief, the memoir expands to explore how society reacts to the death of a child. He depicts the 'good death' of his father, which enlarges Stephane's perspective on mortality. He excavates the history of the Green River--rife with hazards not mentioned in the rafting company's brochures. He explores how stories can both memorialize and obscure a person's life--and how they can rescue us. Disaster Falls is a powerful account of a life cleaved in two--raw, truthful, and unexpectedly consoling"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gerson, SteÌphane. 600 10 $a Gerson, SteÌphane $x Family. 600 10 $a Gerson, SteÌphane $x Marriage. 650 0 $a Drowning $z Green River. $z Green River. 650 0 $a Children $z United States $x Death. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Married people $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Family crises $z United States. 650 0 $a Parental grief $z United States. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Death, Grief, Bereavement. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS / Parenting / Fatherhood. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gerson, SteÌphane, author. $t Disaster Falls $b First edition. $d New York : Crown, [2017] $z 9781101906705 941 $a 16 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013601.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013206.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053707.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204085148.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110071052.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110125.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045510.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719025026.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20180309010910.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20171017012622.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907011011.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20170427014204.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418122100.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20170315031207.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170302014136.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170302013623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4EDF60A2ED0311E6B62F64BFDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
