Summary: Mike's World - A Tribute To Life
Review: "Mike's World" is a genuine tribute to the journey of being a human being. A truly inspirational, witty, uplifting and downright spiritual work, I've read it more than once and found something a little miraculous for me in each reading. For anyone with a heart, this book is well worth owning. If "Diary for Nicholas" touched your soul, "Mike's World" will take you places only a powerfully written non-fiction book can.

This is clearly NOT a book about a challenged child, but a book that will make you see everyone around you differently. The most powerful 148 pages I've read in many, many years!

Summary: A Book Celebrating Life and Determination
Review: Patricia Leary's son Mike is brain damaged, but neither she nor Mike have let his handicap deter them from making their lives together as mother and son full of joy, love, and humor. While the author relates stories of her little boy's growing up challenged by limited motor skills and sight, achievement and success and the indomitable spirits of the duo are the focus of each chapter. Their inspiring story will have meaning not only for parents of handicapped children, but for all parents because the task of raising any child is filled with questions, worries, joy, success, and pride. All parents and children are the same, and Patricia Leary's portrait of Mike will inspire every reader.
