Dad Books: I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond
16 Feb
Did you like the Blind Side? Stop picturing Sandra Bullock like that pervis. Dirty. Well the football player wrote a book. The real guy, not the actor.
I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond
Michael Oher is the young man at the center of the true story depicted in The Blind Side movie (and book) that swept up awards and accolades. Though the odds were heavily stacked against him, Michael had a burning desire deep within his soul to break out of the Memphis inner-city ghetto and into a world of opportunity. While many people are now familiar with Oher’s amazing journey, this is the first time he shares his account of his story in his own words, revealing his thoughts and feelings with details that only he knows, and offering his point of view on how anyone can achieve a better life.
Next, I’d like to read a book from one of the other kids called “what about us, where the hell is our movie, and our food because this big bastard ate it all?” I’m just a jerk like that though.
