Remember this kid? Well, this book just came out about him.
I have been horrible about reading for pleasure, but John and I both quickly devoured this book. It reads like a novel, it’s hard to believe it’s nonfiction, and about one of my classmates no less. If you’re seeking immediate inspiration with a happy ending, if you’re looking for confirmation that passion and dedication can defeat adversity, pick up this book immediately!
(On a side note, this book was also a bit of trip to read because most of it takes place in Charlottesville, where Matt & Emily (and John & I) went to college, and the surrounding areas. With the exception of Joyce’s Ulysses (which critics say you could use as a permanent blueprint of Dublin should you ever need to rebuild it from nothing), I’ve never felt so transported into the setting of a book.)

This guy didn’t go to TJ, right? I don’t remember the name. Not that that means anything. 🙂
Also, hi! Glad to see that you are doing okay! I think about you often.
Hi Melissa! Sorry for the delay! He did not go to TJ, but he would have fitted right in 🙂 Thanks so much for checking in–very, very kind of you!
