More than an average guy: The story of Larry Patton (The True Story of a Cerebral Palsy Victim who Triumphs Over His Disability) [Paperback]

Janet Kastner (Author), John McDowell (Afterword)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Victims of cerebral palsy and their families will find inspiration in this story of Larry Patton's life from birth through college graduation, as he anticipates a job at IBM. Medically, personally, and spiritually there is a lot contained here: family dynamics, problems with vocational rehab, and issues of faith (including questions about natural versus supernatural healing and tensions between mainstream churches and alternative para-church communities). Too bad Kastner's rather unremarkable prose often fails to capture the material's emotional depth, but the book does offer balance and clarity.-- EC
