5.0 out of 5 stars Determined To Win is inspirational, October 30, 2000
By "blazerz661" (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
Determined to Win was an excellent book. It sounded so much like what has happened in my life. Hopefully some day I'll be as sucessful as Jean in wheelchair racing but this book surely inspires me to push myself to ultimite limit in everything. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

By Vicky Marx (Antigo, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Determined to win is an absolute winner. This book flowed like an exciting best selling novel. I feel I've not only been into Jean Driscoll's head, but also in her heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Determined to Win...What an Inspiration, September 24, 2003
By Shaw (Gardnerville, NV) - See all my reviews
My son was in the hospital when I read this book, the Child Life Specialist asked if I would "look" at it. I read it in five hours (and I am not much of a reader)! It took off like a rocket and never stopped. Jean's story is not only an inspiring one, but it helps a parent of a child with Spina Bifida see from the child's point of view. That alone makes this book priceless. Thank you Jean, for laying it all out in the open. You have a graceful courage that any mother would be proud of.
