About this ebook
In this inspiring memoir, the actor and singer remembers the incredible summer he refused to let blindness keep him from living like other children.
In the summer of 1959, eleven-year-old Tom Sullivan was desperate to experience life the way other little boys did. Blind since infancy, he’d learned much at the venerable Perkins School for the Blind. But he was beginning to feel confined by its rules and sheltered environment.
Encouraged by his saloon owner father, he spent that summer undertaking adventurous challenges of all kinds—from pitching in a Little League game to boxing the neighborhood bully. In this hair-raising and heartwarming memoir, Tom vividly recounts a summer in which he boldly attempted—and often achieved—the impossible.

Thid book was an easy read and I couldn't put it down. I found it to be very inspirational and moving. I will definately be recommending this book to others. It s a quick read but well worth the time. I loved it! Theres so much I could say but people need to experience the emotion and true feelings that Tom expresses in this book.
