Overview

ExtraOrdinary: An End of Life Story Without End is a spiritual memoir and love story about a man who became a healer and a teacher in his mid-nineties as his own life was coming to completion. It tells the story of Herman Liss, an Orthodox Jew, and the love for his wife that continued after her passing. It shares the love between an elder and a young volunteer eighty years his junior, and between a stepfather and his adult stepdaughter. It explores how a hospice patient, through his compassion and wisdom, helped heal those who cared for him. Herman taught by example how to love, how to listen, how to forgive, and how to be grateful for each day. ExtraOrdinary is a story of growth and learning, a joining of generations and cultures and hearts.
