About Spared

Product Description "Three weeks before Shaun Deane was scheduled to graduate from college, just before his final exams, a series of unspeakably tragic events began to unfold in his life. These events influenced Shaun's life from that day forward, as he tried to make sense of a time when the world was upended. While moving his parents out of their home, decades later, new details surfaced enabling him to see the entire arc of this complex story. Spared tracks the story that began in 1977, a story that cut a swath through all the ensuing decades. It honors what we cannot control and celebrates the times when we are able to reject that which would pull us down. It is a tale of survival, death, fathers, sons, and husbands and wives, told with earth-shattering clarity." Review With colorful description and profound glimpses of personal experiences, SPARED author Shaun Deane looks back at the devastating circumstances that upended his life and his struggle to free himself from his self-centered father's legacy of anger and bitterness.  Reading baby-boomer Shaun Deane's memoir is like hunkering down in your favorite coffee shop with an admired professor ruminating about life's tough breaks and comebacks. The elevated vocabulary and stylistic beauty of his storytelling are incisive and captivating.  - IndieReader Shaun Deane has written a stunning memoir about surviving unspeakable family tragedy, weaving decades of time into a journey to fight against his greatest foe: ambiguity. In his courageous pursuit to learn what really happened, he reveals his deepest vulnerabilities. You will find yourself cheering him on as he pushes deeper into the dark center where he uncovers shocking revelations, clarity and truth. This gripping story will leave you breathless and bursting with every emotion. I could not put it down." Jessica Keener, author of  Strangers In Budapest Spared is a memoir about memory and trauma, and about a personal history so searing, so lacerating, that you can almost smell death on the page. But with enormous restraint and grace, with artful, elegant prose, with laser intelligence and a deep heart, Shaun Deane lifts us back into life, he lifts us into flight.   --Paul Cody, author,  The Stolen Child, Love Is Both Wave and Particle About the Author Shaun Deane was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
