5.0 out of 5 stars Courageous, Heartwarming & Entertaining, July 26, 1999

By A Customer

A truely inspirational book. Mr.Burton relates his story with warmth,courage and humor. A very talented writer and performer. It's definitely worth your time to read "A Life in the Balance" In addition, if you ever get a chance to see him perform, DO IT. His comedy/juggling act is amazing!
