Born with only one arm, a twisted back, and badly deformed legs, and orphaned while still a boy, Charlie also carried with him the legacy of his resolute mother: "You can do anything you want to if you want it badly enough".

"Short read. Recommended to me by my dad so I read it to Denmark on the drive home from a trip. It is the story of of one man's trials and his endurance with a positive attitude.

"Recommended by a long-suffering friend. I'm giving it four stars, probably because she loves it so much. A book that leaves you asking the hard questions, ie. "How do I treat others I view as different?" and "How do I react to adversity?" I should re-read it often..."
