"A young Amish woman, attended by the country veterinarian, delivers a baby that's eighteen pounds and twenty-seven inches long, and no one in Lakota, Wisconsin, knows what to make of the boy. Raised by his brother in rural poverty, Gabriel Fisher walks at eight months, communicates with animals, and possesses extraordinary athletic abilities. When his older brother dies by suicide, Gabriel is taken in by devout Amish grandparents, who hide him away from the English world. At age seventeen, and nearly eight feet tall, Gabriel is spotted working in a hay field by the local football coach, and his life changes. In Life, and Death, and Giants, Gabriel's unique story is told by those whose lives are transformed by him: Doc Kennedy, the veterinarian who delivers him and becomes his mentor; Hannah Fisher, Gabriel's Amish grandmother, haunted by her daughter's death and troubled by deep gaps in her faith; Billy Walton, the salty bar owner and bridge between the Amish and English communities in Lakota; and Trey Beathard, the football coach, who tries to mentor Gabriel as his fame spreads throughout the world. Threaded with the poems of Emily Dickinson, Life, and Death, and Giants weaves together an unforgettable story of faith, family, buried secrets, and everyday miracles"--

My heart broke for Hannah, and I found myself sobbing right alongside her, sobbing for the ache, for the weight of love and loss this story carries. Life, and Death, and Giants moved me in ways I didn�t expect, over and over again. It�s the kind of book that lingers between readings, tugging at your thoughts when you�re away from it, making you ache to return.
Gabriel�s life is extraordinary, but what truly gripped me wasn�t just his size or abilities, it was the depth of humanity pulsing through these pages. A heart too big for this world, a life that touches everyone it brushes against. Every character felt achingly real, flawed yet full of grace, and their choices made me think hard about faith, family, and the ways love can both wound and heal.
This is a story rich with beauty and sorrow, where miracles are quiet and everyday, and where grief is as present as hope. I wish I had all the right words to capture how it made me feel, but maybe that�s the point. It�s a book you don�t just read, you experience.
Ron Rindo has written something powerful here. Tender, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
