Water From the Moon: A Biography of John Fawcett by Scott Bevan

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

John Fawcett's story tells the triumph of determination in the face of impossible odds.

As the Javanese say, like getting water from the moon. Near-death experiences are often the catalyst to re-examine and revitalize a life, but rarely are the results of such an experience so spectacular as in the case of John Fawcett.

Successful ceramist, art school head and family man Fawcett lived life at a frenetic pace until treatment for chronic back pain took him to the brink of death. He lost his wife, career, health and vision for the future.

Rebuilding his life took him to another country, a new family and a new vocation, bringing sight to the cataract blind of Bali. (publisher blurb)
