Joni Eareckson Tada sings Oscar nominated song
A SONG performed by quadraplegic author Joni Eareckson Tada, who in the '80s
recorded several albums for Word Records, has received an Oscar
nomination for Best Original Song. Joni's rendition of "Alone Yet Not
Alone" is used in the feature film of the same name. "Alone Yet Not
Alone" was composed by Bruce Broughton with lyrics by Dennis Spiegel.
The film tells the true story of Barbara and Regina Leininger and
their journey of faith and survival during the French and Indian war
in 1755. Captured by the Delaware Indians in a raid on their home and
transported over 300 miles of wilderness to Ohio, the sisters are
sustained only by their abiding trust in God and their hope of escape
against all odds to be reunited with their family.
