Inhaltsangabe

The inspiration for the series BEST FOOT FORWARD--streaming now on AppleTV

"Just Don't Fall is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read-not too mention poignant and funny." --A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically

This winning memoir of triumph over tragedy tells a story that has deeply affected thousands of readers. When he was just nine years old, Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a virulent cancer strain that eventually claimed his left leg. Told in a wide-eyed, often heartbreaking voice, Just Don't Fall is the astounding story of the boy Josh was and of the young man he became--an utterly heroic struggle through numerous hospitalizations and worse to become an award-winning skier in the Paralympics and renowned motivational speaker. What emerges is one of the most fresh and sincere works of inspiration to come along in years.
