Requests:  2 Summary:  "For thirty years, Rod Nordland shadowed death. As one of his generation's preeminent war correspondents, he reported in over 150 countries, many of which were in violent upheaval,and was no stranger to witnessing tragedy. But in summer 2019, during the height of India's erratic monsoon season, Nordland was suddenly faced with a tragedy of his own: he collapsed in the middle of a morning jog, was rushed to the hospital, and diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. After decades chasing conflicts across the globe, Nordland, now confined to a hospital bed, found the strength to face more personal conflicts. He reconnected with his estranged children and became closer with them than he ever thought possible. He repaired a friendship with a best friend that had been broken for twenty years. The arrogance and certitude that dominated his every action was replaced by a lucid sense of humility and generosity that persisted even after he left the hospital. Norland's tragedy became, in his own words, a gift that has enriched my life. Waiting for the Monsoon is the exemplary story of confronting death with both eyes open, and of the human capacity to persevere even in the most difficult of times. With tremendous clarity, grace, and courage, Nordland has delivered a powerful final assignment, revealing how facing the unknown can transform experience and change our relationship to the world around us."--Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.19699 Norland No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Norland No Item being held Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books 362.19699 Nordland No Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Nordland No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.19699 Nordland No Transit Request Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
