review 1: The defining moment of Jerry McGill's life was when he was shot in the back at age 13 by an unknown assailant and became a quadriplegic. In this inspiring book, McGill tells his life story and how he eventually turned that devastating event into a love of people, a will to live and a successful career as a teacher and musician. I enjoyed the book, although I wished the author had given more more details about living with a disability. Strong language and subject matter make this most appropriate for upper middle school and high school students. A good choice for heightening awareness about disabilities and coping with adversity.
review 2: I received this book as a giveaway and I cannot be any happier or greatful for being able to read this book. This book ga... moreve me insight to a world that is different from my own in several ways, one that not only made me greatful for the life I had growing up, but also made me think about all the situations in my life that have happened and the effect they had on me. I thought about how a situation that seems to be happening to only me in many ways is going to effect many other people and make changes in their lives. I really enjoyed this book and cant wait to share it with my friends and family that read, also for the times later in my life when I know I will return to this book and reread in order to broaden my thinking on situations that I may be going through that seem so difficult at the time and how I can choose to make the best of the situations to better the outcome and my life along with those around me. less
