During his remarkable voluntary career, Gordon Zacks has worked closely with three American presidents, five Israeli prime ministers, and countless others who have made a difference in the world through their character, courage and leadership. Defining Moments is an anthology of profiles and first hand accounts that describe these courageous and extraordinary leaders – most well known, but some not – who seized the moment to make the world a better place.
Each of the individuals profiled in Defining Moments was challenged to do the right thing at a critical moment. None of them, Zacks maintains, would have had the courage to do so without strong personal character and a clear moral compass. The stories are built around Zacks’ personal experience and penetrating understanding of human goals and motivations.
From each of these individuals, and many more, Zacks gleans the key lessons he learned and presents them in ways that are relevant and actionable for today’s leader. For readers seeking to identify their passion in life and to clarify their purpose, Defining Moments is an extraordinary guide that teaches through memorable experiences – the stories in the book reveal valuable lessons on finding and following a path to a more rewarding life.

Annabel Stehli is the author of the celebrated The Sound of a Miracle, the story of her own daughter, Georgiana’s experience with autism and her recovery. As a result of that book, Annabel received letters from hundreds of parents who were facing similar questions with their own children. As a result, Annabel compiled many of their stories in Dancing in the Rain which has given hope to thousands who have experienced autism in their own families. Now, many years later, Annabel has edited a new volume, Sound of Falling Snow, with stories about recovery from autism and related disorders. These stories, fourteen in all, written by parents should serve to inspire and encourage parents who may feel that they are fighting the battle alone.
Dancing in the Rain: Stories of Exceptional Progress by Parents of Children with Special Needs is a guide to the world of learning disabilities, developmental delay and autism. An inspiring and riveting selection of stories, they are written with candor and intelligence by the parents of children with special needs and edited by Annabel Stehli, author of The Sound of a Miracle. Focusing on attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, hyperlexia, pervasive developmental delay, communication delay, central auditory processing disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome and autism, here are strategies that worked in twenty-two cases. “How I wish a book like this had been available when my daughter was first diagnosed. It would have made all the difference,” says Annabel Stehli.
