== ''Immortal Bird'' ==
Weber’s memoir, ''Immortal Bird'', the portrait of a teenager’s short, vibrant life and the relationship between father and son, documents the family’s navigation of the complex medical journey of Doron and Shealagh Weber’s first child, Damon, who was born in 1988 with a congenital heart defect. The defect, a single ventricle, was successfully repaired, allowing him to lead a remarkably full life until he developed new complications as a teen. When he was 16½, Damon received a successful heart transplant but then died of a post-transplant infection that was misdiagnosed as organ rejection and left untreated. The family brought suit in 2006 against New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center where their son was a patient but, as of 2013, the suit remains unresolved. In addition to being named by The Washington Post as one of “50 Notable Works of Non-Fiction” for 2012, ''Immortal Bird'' was listed as Amazon’s Best Book of the Month,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000769071 )〕 on February 2012 Indie NEXT List,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indiebound.org/indie-next-list?edition=201202 )〕 and was one of nine official selections of the 2013 Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ciweb.org/education-clsc#Week_Nine )〕 the oldest book club in America. The paperback was published in February, 2013.
