This book is almost more extraordinary for the way it was written than the actual writing. I consider it a physical feat much like reaching the summit of Everest. The author, paralyzed by a stroke and left with only the use of his brain and his left eye, "blinked" the alphabet to an assistant to create these short chapters. The amount of imagination and perspective evident in this book is what astounded me. A must-read for anyone in nursing, for anyone that feels frustrated by physical limitations, for anyone who needs to learn the lesson of how to live and love small moments. A warm, sad, extraordinary autobiography full of humor and humanity. At the very least, it'll make you think.
