Blogcritics.org, 8/27/09 "[A] heroic story." Blogcritics.org, 8/17/09 "This book is a must read for people with handicapping conditions from birth or from fate. Patrick's courage and the support given by mother, father, and brothers as he grew older, cannot help but inspire even the most depressed individual to accept a disabling condition and move forward.

  • "I AM POTENTIAL"

    THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY AN INCREDIBLE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS BORN WITH THE MOST ADVERSE OF BIRTH DEFECTS, YET HE HAS THE OPTIMISM AND FORTITUDE, AS WELL AS THE GRACE OF GOD, TO PERSEVERE TO MEET HIS LIFE'S GOALS. HIS FATHER ALSO NARRATES HIS EXPERIENCES WITH RAISING, NURTURING AND ASSISTING HIS SON WITH REACHING GOALS THAT WE "NORMAL FOLKS" TAKE FOR GRANTED. GET THE TISSUES READY BECAUSE YOU WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY!!

  • good!

    I bought the book for my grandson. I wanted to inspire him. We were impressed with the accounts we have seen on TV. and you tube. He received the book in a timely manner. We appreciate the service!
