520    Mattie J.T. Stepanek lived and died a child, but he had 
       the spirit of a giant. Affected by a rare and fatal 
       neuromuscular disease, Mattie lived almost fourteen years 
       but in that time became a poet, best-selling author, peace
       activist, and a prominent voice for the Muscular Dystrophy
       Association. Before his death in June 2004, his five 
       volumes of Heartsongs poetry sold more than a million 
       copies. This is the final collection of Heartsongs that 
       Mattie was working on when he died. In these poems he 
       explores disability, despair, and death but also the gifts
       he finds in nature, prayer, peace, and his belief in 
       something "bigger and better than the here and now."--
