reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


Tom Whittaker's story is a testament to courage, drive, and the power of the human spirit. In this book Tom changes the perception of what it means to be disable. Whittaker dramatically shows us how a double amputee or someone with cerebral palsy can climb the tallest mountians in the world.
