This story is a small glimpse of one of the most amazing people you will ever witness. He is a shining example of how people should live every single day. The book is even better and a fast read. It is too bad more do not watch films such as this instead of the gore and other unnecessary topics that are deemed will written or produced!

You've reached the end.
