A must read! Very inspiring! Not only is this a must read for anyone faced with or raising someone with a physical challenge, it is also an excellent inspirational and motivational book for all. I recommend this book to all, especially institutions that are helping to develop life skills for those who are physically challenged. I deem it a must read for all physically challenged youngsters.

Darrell, you have dared to, not only dream the impossible dream but you worked very hard and you achieved it.
- Bill Hayling, MD Obstetrics and Gynecology, Retired staff physician; Martin Luther King Hospital; Los Angeles, California.
This book serves as an example, not only of personal triumphs of a person who just happens to have been born with a disability, it more importantly shows the determination and dedication to pursue his lifelong dream when others were in doubt. Any person who has ever been doubted or had to overcome significant obstacles can benefit from the message.
