The football star made famous in the hit film (and book) "The
Blind Side" reflects on how far he has come from the circumstances
of his youth. Michael Oher shares his personal account of his
story, in this inspirational "New York Times" bestseller.
Looking back on how he went from being a homeless child in
Memphis to playing in the NFL, Michael talks about the goals he had
to break out of the cycle of poverty, addiction, and hopelessness
that trapped his family. Eventually he grasped onto football as his
ticket out and worked hard to make his dream into a reality. With
his adoptive family, the Touhys, and other influential people in
mind, he describes the absolute necessity of seeking out positive
role models and good friends who share the same values to achieve
one's dreams. Sharing untold stories of heartache, determination,
courage, and love, "I Beat the Odds" is an incredibly rousing tale
of one young man's quest to achieve the American dream.
