The Rising lingers long after you have read it. It raises fundamental issues about the human condition our ability to move on in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Bill Petit lost his wife and two children in a crime beyond imagination. In the hands of Ryan D Agostino what emerges is a pitch-perfect story of grace, eloquence and renewal beyond imagination. Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights The Rising is a gut punch of a book, one I'm sure I'll never forget. Ryan D'Agostino unflinchingly takes us into the intimate world of Dr. Bill Petit, and in doing so brings us face-to-face with loss, resilience, perseverance, and finally our own humanity. A book so taut and moving I read it in one breath before exhaling. Michael Paterniti, author of The Telling Room and Driving Mr. Albert One of the most heartrending and beautiful books I have ever read. The Rising is more than a story about one man s impossible triumph; it s a story about the power within all of us to find our ways no matter what. Robert Kurson, New York Times bestselling author of Shadow Drivers A beautifully observed exploration of the redemptive power of love, The Rising will leave you in awe of both its hero s strength and its author s soaring talent. Shattering and exhilarating in equal measure, this is a book that will change the way you deal with life s inevitable hardships; you ll tear through it in a single sitting, but marvel at its empathy and power for years to come. Brendan I. Koerner, author of The Skies Belong to Us
