Remarkable Story Well Told

This is a remarkable autobiographical story told in a really interesting and powerful way by Joan Brock. She tells first hand of the challenges in her life and how she has dealt with them. High on credibility and very high on inspiration this is a worthwhile story for anyone to think about and learn from. I purchased this tape when on the lookout for a DVD of the telemovie made on Joan Brock's life. My mother had seen the movie on TV and wanted to share it with others. My mother loved this audio version of the story as told by Joan Brock and has recently started to read the book. If the audio tape fosters enough interest to read the book, this must be a worthwhile experience.

An Inspiration to many

I was recently fortunate enough to hear Joan speak at the ICAN conference in Omaha. She is truly amazing! Hearing her story puts all of the little bumps in my life into perspective. I would recomend this book to anyone!

Joan is a wonderful positive person.

I knew Joan when she was going through her loss of vision. She is a very positive and uplifting person. Her book is true to the experiences we all had with her and her family. You have to read the book and feel that your outlook on life can be just as positive and happy!

Joan is truly a gift to us all.

I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing Joan Brock while at a convention in Oakland, CA in May of 1999. This woman has been through so much, yet still manages to see the good in life and in people. She will inspire you and lift you. The book make my mother cry with joy as she read it. I hope to have the pleasure of reading more books of Joan's should she choose to write them. Thank you Joan for the joy you have added to my life.

An inspiring true story of courage and triumph over tragedy.

This is a wonderful story of love, devotion, and courage; the courage to have an attitude to adapt and make the best of whatever situation you are in. I was so touched by it's message, I return to it's pages when life seems TOO hard. It helps me regain my perspective. An excellent book!
