One Book: From Behind the Piano & What's Really Worth Doing and How To Do It by Jack Pearpoint & Judith Snow
	Order code: 02-B016 Price: £9.40 Format: 210x130mm 223pp paperback From Behind The Piano is a book used by high school teachers, college professors and as a human interest story. The book details the personal story of helping Judith Snow move out of an institution and into the community. In the process, a circle of support was born that not only helped Judith, but changed the lives of all involved. The message is powerful and simple: None of us can deal with a crisis alone. The book explains the formation of the "Joshua Committee" as Judith Snow named her Circle of Support. What’s Really Worth Doing & How To Do It: This book stood on its own, but is better in combination with "From Behind the Piano". Judith says her book is about strategies to make it possible for people who are vulnerable to be more present and included in their communities. Her premise is that we must replace the thinking of disability with the thinking of “giftedness”. If you want to know how to start to build support circles (i.e. circles of friends), this is the book for you. and angered...the writers hope this will move you to action.
