Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspiring memoir, the actor and singer remembers the incredible summer he refused to let blindness keep him from living like other children. In the summer of 1959, eleven-year-old Tom Sullivan was desperate to experience life the way other little boys did. Blind since infancy, he’d learned much at the venerable Perkins School for the Blind. But he was beginning to feel confined by its rules and sheltered environment. Encouraged by his saloon owner father, he spent that summer undertaking adventurous challenges of all kinds—from pitching in a Little League game to boxing the neighborhood bully. In this hair-raising and heartwarming memoir, Tom vividly recounts a summer in which he boldly attempted—and often achieved—the impossible.
