Publisher Description: The inspirational story of a young man with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, a devastating disease in which the life expectancy is approximately two years. Craig has lived into adulthood and continues going strong. Along the way, he has overcome many obstacles. He was mainstreamed in school instead of being segregated; and he graduated right on time along with his friends. He was able to attend his high school prom with his sweetheart. And although experts said he could never learn to play the guitar, he taught himself, became a guitar instructor, and eventually formed his own rock band. This is a story that will uplift the reader, and leave them with a never-say die attitude, as shared by its author |
