UNT Press and the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Series
See Sam Run Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe
At the fourth annual Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Writers Conference of the Southwest (taking place in Grapevine, Texas, on July 18-20), UNT Press will showcase the latest book in a collaborative venture with the Mayborn Graduate School of Journalism at the University of North Texas. In 2005 an entrant in the manuscript competition at the conference, Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe, won a provisional contract for her book manuscript, See Sam Run: A Mother’s Story of Autism. She will be speaking to writers at this year’s conference and signing her book Saturday evening.
See Sam Run: A Mother’s Story of Autism
By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe
Thousands of children are diagnosed with autism each year, with a rate of occurrence of 1 in 150 births, compared to 5 per 10,000 just two decades ago. Of course, behind the numbers, the debate, and the speculation, individual families are struggling to live with autism every day. This is the story of one such family raising Sam, a young boy with autism. His mother, Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe, chronicles his first four years of life and her growing realization that Sam was different, and how she would learn to grow different with him. See Sam Run reaches deep into the heart of anyone whose life has been touched by developmental disability—and it will resonate profoundly with those who have been transformed by a newfound ability to love.
See Sam Run follows on the first book in the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Series, William & Rosalie, written by Craig Hanley working with William and Rosalie Schiff, two Holocaust survivors. Each author was selected as the winner of the annual Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Writers Conference manuscript workshop.
