I had the privilege of seeing Spencer West present at a community gathering and was inspired by his amazing perseverance and incredible story of never giving up hope. I just had to read his story and understand more about how he got to where he is today. This was a good read. While it was important to understand his family background, I felt a little too much time was spent on detailing his history. The rest of the book was fascinating and a wonderful account that I have shared with many people - including both my children. Thank you for setting such a wonderful example.

Spencer West is many things. Accomplished speaker. University graduate. Natural prankster. Former cheerleader. And a young man without legs--something that has never held him back. Spencer was born without the use of his legs. When he was five, doctors decided to amputate below his pelvis to better help him get around. It didn't bother him; he was Superman and nothing would ever get in his way. Or so he thought. Navigating through life on his hands, Spencer has always lived with purpose. But he wanted more out of life than just a paycheque and material possessions. He wanted to make an impact but wasn't always sure how. That was until he had the epiphany: He was different for a reason. Infused with humour and humility, Spencer has never lost the hope or courage he needed to tackle personal obstacles--bullying, isolation, failure, or pride. His secret? Always standing tall.
