Abstract
On a Saturday morning at the end of November 2008, a young family suffered the loss of two sons and the permanent paralysis of another as a result of an automobile accident. Rather than tear the family apart, the tragedy drew them closer and touched the hearts of people in and out of their Catholic community. The boys' father began writing to express the painful emotions he felt and the faith that supported him. These poems and reflections, though heart-wrenching, have been presented in the hope they may bring comfort to other victims of tragedy by witnessing to the healing and transforming power of faith, family and love.

Vous croyez tout savoir sur le sexe ? Vos amis, la porno, vos lectures vous ont tout appris ? De toute façon, faire l'amour c'est naturel !
Fine observatrice et grande communicatrice, Janette Bertrand sait aborder les questions que vous vous posez secrètement. Sociologue de la sexualité, Michel Dorais travaille à mieux comprendre la sexualité et les préjugés qui l'entourent. Elle a l'expérience, il a la science. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de leurs échanges animés et passionnants sur la sexualité à toutes les étapes de la vie, de la jeunesse à la vieillesse.
Afin de combattre l'ignorance et la désinformation sur les problèmes liés à la vie sexuelle, elle s'interroge comme elle seule sait le faire. Il répond avec nuance et discernement, par-delà les idées préconçues.
Un livre essentiel, indispensable pour tous ceux et celles qui veulent en apprendre davantage sur leur sexualité et sur celle des autres. Ce livre va vraiment vous étonner.
