Like all mothers Emily Rapp had ambitious plans for her first & only child Ronan. He would be smart loyal physically fearless level-headed but fun. He would be good at crossword puzzles like his father. He would be an avid skier like his mother. Rapp would speak to him in foreign languages & give him the best education. But all of these plans changed when Ronan was diagnosed at nine months old with Tay-Sachs disease a rare & always-fatal degenerative disorder. Ronan was not expected to live beyond the age of three; he would be permanently stalled at a developmental level of six months. Rapp & her husband were forced to re-evaluate everything they thought they knew about parenting. They would have to learn to live with their child in the moment; to find happiness in the midst of sorrow; to parent without a future. The Still Point of the Turning World is the story of a mothers journey through grief & beyond it. Rapps response to her sons diagnosis was a belief that she needed to make my world big
- to make sense of her familys situation through art literature philosophy theology & myth. Drawing on a broad range of thinkers & writers from C.S. Lewis to Sylvia Plath Hegel to Mary Shelleys Frankenstein Rapp learns what wisdom there is to be gained from parenting a terminally ill child. In luminous exquisitely moving prose she re-examines our most fundamental assumptions about what it means to be a good parent to be a success & to live a meaningful life.
