Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I knew JR back at Syracuse -- we shared some of the same friends -- and was amazed at how he could get around by himself. After reading this book, now I know more about him and his inspiring story. A 3-foot-9 congenial amputee, he was born without forearms, hands and thighs (putting it simply). The most revealing parts of the book were the struggles his parents, sister, and especially he has had accepting his condition. Able-bodied people like me have a difficult time imagining what it's been like to overcome what he's had to, and his story makes me thankful for all the physical normalities I have. For disabled people, he's a fantastic example of the attitude one needs to never give up and overcome whatever obstacles one faces, physically and especially emotionally. Today, JR is a happily married man and father of three leading what seems to be perfectly normal life as a salesman. All the credit to him. (You can Google him and his story for some video clips, and there's a documentary that goes along with the book.)
