Matt Crawford speaks with Sally and Jonah Ismael about their book, The Night Blooming. Twin competitive Taekwondo athletes Sally and Jonah endured severe childhood psychological, emotional, and mental distress as they confronted their fears, doubts, pain, and chronic PTSD during the traumatic experience of abuse, bullying, and rejection they have encountered. All while they simply wanted to be part of a team and participate in the sport they loved, simply because of their race and religion. A true story of endurance, perseverance and inspiration, this is a book for all and can be a salve for those who suffer any type of adversity.
