Book Description

June 26, 2006
Paul Morgan had one dream since he was a little boy—a dream to be a Major League Baseball player. One thing stands between him and his dream—Paul has cystic fibrosis. Paul’s early life is filled with the physical and emotional struggles of living with a disease that threatens to shorten his life. But then something “incredible” happens that changes his attitude forever. Though he incurs several setbacks, meets various skeptics and endures much pain along the way, his desire and determination give him a fighting chance to obtain a boyhood dream. This is a story of sorrow and triumph, reality and dreams, and what determination and desire can achieve. In the end, you’ll find yourself chanting his name, hoping that his dream turns from mere fantasy to miraculous achievement. Most of us have comic book superheroes with mystical capes that we read about and admire. Meet Paul Morgan—a young man who proves that a superhero needs no cape!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspiring, August 19, 2006
This review is from: A Superhero Needs No Cape: A Remarkable Story of Dreams, Dedication and Desire (Paperback)
What an inspiration this book could be to anyone suffering from an illness such as the hero (cystic fibrosis) or some other handicap. The story kept me wanting to come back to it until I finished it. Since the author himself has CF you know he is writing it with an insider's knowledge of the illness and the strength it takes him to get through the endless treatments and the ups and downs of everyday life with a chronic illness. Andy leads the hero from the impossible to the possible (though improbable)in a very entertaining way. You know the story is fiction but you feel like you are reading about a real person. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
