ABC-7 at Noon: Author explores overcoming suffering in new book

EL PASO, Texas -- Choosing to embrace the pain when you're suffering instead of running away from it. That's the message from Houston author, Thomas Fellow's new book, "Mrs. Dubose's Last Wish: The Art of Embracing Suffering."

The book was inspired by "The Road to Character", written by New York Times best-selling author David Brooks as well as "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. The book feature Mrs. Dubose, a character from "To Kill A Mockingbird" and highlights her choice to choose to suffer by getting Jem, Atticus' son, to read to her so she would be distracted from the pain of going through morphine withdrawal.
