"This young man had no ability to speak 'til his father taped a stick to his head and placed a computer keyboard in front of him. 20 years of thought rushed out as his first book of poetry, including some invented words to best describe his view of the world. This is his second book and autobiography. Amazing. Inspirational. Think ability."
"Remarkable story of a severly handicapped and greatly gifted boy, his struggles, the support of his family, particularly his mother, and his triumph. What a painful, remarkable, triumphant journey."
