Saving Shannon: A Family's Story of Strength and Devotion
A family comes together in the wake of tragedy in Paul J. Mulhern’s powerful memoir of a love that knows no bounds.
It was a beautiful summer day when three-year-old Shannon was hit by an SUV and thrown forty feet in the air. Despite heroic attempts of medical professionals on the scene and at the hospital, Shannon fell into a coma. With skull fractures and brain swelling and bleeding, Shannon’s prognosis was bleak. But even on the darkest days, her parents believed in Shannon’s smallest victories.
Throughout Shannon’s time in a coma, various hospitals, rehab, and eventual return to normal life, this story of miraculous recovery proves that celebrating step-by-step progress and commitment to healing can bring about the impossible.
Saving Shannon is an uplifting memoir of a family’s collective healing and an illustration of how a family copes with a child’s traumatic brain injury. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware.

This book is amazing! I could not put it down.
It is about a horrific event, but it is also about the strength of the human spirit. I think it would help everyone to read this. It is a book About family, Hope, and Love. I will be reading it many more times.
