  In 1974, a nineteen-year-young kid was involved in an accident that would forever alter the course of his life and the lives of his immediate family and friends. But partly due to his upbringing, the makeup of his character, and his outlook on life, he shares with us how, after over four decades, he continues to weather the storm and has become a successful entrepreneur, an admirable human being, and an asset to his community. 
  Reading his autobiography, one will discover his life’s path and what thoughts, people, and opportunities have helped him make the best out of his challenge, as well as what insight we can gain and apply from his journey that will help us bring more wisdom, peace, prosperity, and love to our path in life.

  This Emmy Award–winning broadcaster’s memoir “takes you on a fun ride. Enjoy the journey to self-awareness and have a good laugh along the way” (James Van Praagh, author of Talking to Heaven). 
   
  Television journalist Jenniffer Weigel takes readers on a humorous, yet deeply moving journey as she struggles to find her own spiritual path during the illness and death of her father, popular sportscaster Tim Weigel. During his illness, while Tim turns to alternative treatments like chi gong and reiki sessions, Jenniffer reads Neale Donald Walsch, starts a spiritual diet plan, and uses the law of attraction to find free parking spaces. After his death, she does everything she can to have one more conversation with her dad from the “other side.” Stay Tuned is a witty, irreverent trip through popular spiritual beliefs and the insights of masters and celebrities, including conversations with don Miguel Ruiz, James Van Praagh, Caroline Myss, Deepak Chopra, and Russell Crowe. This is the funny, heart-breaking, and touching story of one skeptical journalist’s transformation from “cynical daughter” to “spiritual woman.”

  Witness - Stories

  What does it mean to really see the world around you—to bear witness? And what does it cost us, both to see and not to see?In these ten stories, each set in the changing landscapes of contemporary New York City, a range of characters—from children to grandmothers to ghosts—live through the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. Though they strive to connect with, stand up for, care for, and remember one another, they often fall short, and the structures they build around these ambitions and failures shape their futures as well as the legacies and prospects of their communities and their city.In its portraits of families and friendships lost and found, the paradox of intimacy, the long shadow of grief, and the meaning of home, Witness enacts its own testimony. Here is a world where fortunes can be made and stolen in just a few generations, where strangers might sometimes show kindness while those we trust—doctors, employers, siblings—too often turn away, where joy comes in snatches: flowers on a windowsill, dancing in the street, glimpsing your purpose, change on the horizon.With prose as upendingly beautiful as it is artfully, seamlessly crafted, Jamel Brinkley offers nothing less than the full scope of life and death and change in the great, unending drama of the city.
