Soar, Adam, Soar recounts the odyssey author Rick Prashaw and his son, Adam - nee Rebecca – navigating through the joys and trials of youth and young adulthood, the perils of epilepsy, and the challenges of a transgender life. It tells of lives enriched, a life lost, and lives saved. It is an inspiring, eye-opening and thought-provoking read that the reader will put down a wiser person than when they picked it up.
Amazing read. I think Rick did a great job at helping Adam shine through on the pages with all the social media posts. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. As much as you'll laugh on some pages, they'll be tears on others. A truly bittersweet read.
... part way through.I'm a parent and so this book was bound to touch me. I didn't find the blurb entirely accurate, as I don't think I really 'saw' Rebecca or Adam whilst she/he was alive, because the tale seems to focus much more on the after, and about the child/YA introduced to us through his father's memories of events. That's not a criticism per se, just that I'd expected to have read more about what Rebecca/Adam was really like, with more 'in the moment' stuff. But, it was told with love and admiration, and that's not something that all parents of trans kids might do. I found it lovely that both parents were fully accepting of Rebecca/Adam's exploration of herself/himself and supportive of her/his decisions, though some of them might have found them with their fingers crossed a time or few.What made me cry in this is reading the letter from the recipient of Adam's heart. That touched me hugely, and I cried more than once. For someone to appreciate the gift of life like that, to want to say a heartfelt (no pun intended) thank you to those who helped make the gift possible, and how decent a person the recipient turned out to be, was humbling. It made me realise that I take my own health for granted to a degree and that it's time, at 49, for me to look around, take stock and make some decisions re health and older age.I think the book may perhaps have been tempered/muted, emotions wise, for Adam's dad to be able to tell the tale, for readers to be able to read and appreciate it, but it felt a little subdued. It's a private situation made willingly public by Adam's dad in writing this book, and yes, I do appreciate that, but at times I felt that it skimmed things rather than went into them in depth. I'd have liked to know more about Adam's thoughts that turned into actions; at times it felt as if his parents either didn't want to question him, or thought that he was going through a phase. This may be a slight spoiler, apologies, but to enter into a 'marriage' ceremony at such a young age, when a young child is involved, and for it to end shortly after, feels like a situation that did need a little tough love, or at least a 'let's sit down and talk about this', not with the aim of trying to change Adam's mind, but as supportive, caring, 'been there, done it, alone again' parents.Adam himself seemed a lot immature in some ways, but mature in others. I'm not sure he came across as a free spirit, but more as someone preoccupied with his own self, needs, wants, etc, which isn't that unusual for teens, from what I hear/read in pop culture. I have a son not that much older than Adam, and he's very different and an only child who's extremely close to both parents, and therefore as a family we didn't go through any of what Adam's dad portrays, so maybe I am being judgemental. If so, I don't mean to, but Adam's parents seemed rather out of his life in many ways, and yet his dad being his friend on social media, felt a little too much in his life in a way. Sorry if this is contradictory, but I'm also a Brit, and therefore, maybe a little more reserved than the Prashaws?I'm not sure I felt anything for Adam's mum, who seemed to be absent and yet not, his confidante and yet not, an unwitting creator of distance between Adam and his dad, and yet not. Was she present enough, post her divorce? Was Adam affected by their divorce and therefore rushed into life decisions? Whilst I'm glad that Adam was taken seriously by those involved medically in his transition, I did feel that everything seemed to be rushed and as if Adam was racing to a finish line. Yes, it's probably easy for me to say, having grown up a het female without a doubt about her gender and sexuality, but I have a few trans friends and things for them have progressed a lot slower, with one choosing to detransition after 5 years. And, it also makes me wonder, as did the posts about death that came to light after Adam's passing, if he had a premonition that his time on earth would be short?Overall, this is an interesting read, but I expected it to be more emotional and loving and moving. I just didn't get that feeling until after Adam's passing, and only once the heart recipient came into Adam's parents' lives. I don't think I felt that I knew, knew Adam, because he didn't shine through; I think for me, as I said above, the tale felt rather muted.ARC courtesy of the author, Dundurn and NetGalley, for my reading pleasure.
What a touching tribute by a loving father to his fascinating and resilient son. This book almost felt co-written as Adam's social media posts were incorporated into Prashaw's narrative. Adam's posts provided a unique insight into his struggles with growing up and epilepsy, and his journey to transitioning. No doubt Prashaw loved and respected his son, and gave him as much freedom as possible (given his medical condition) to become the wonderful person he was in his short life. Adam's life isn't sugar-coated, and I appreciated the realness with which Prashaw relates his story.
