A Great Inspiration to Everyone!!!

Jim Abbot was born without a hand. His dream was to play Major League Baseball. Will he persue this dream? I really liked this book because it gave me a better idea of how much harder life could be and how some people work very, very hard to persue their dreams. Read this exciting and inspirational book to find out!
