True Courage

What a heartwarming and inspiring book. Page after page you feel of the wonderful example of love and compassion that this wonderful mother had for her children and of the great courage and strength that both she and Lee had as they faced this illness together. On January 16, 2000, Karma Smith Belnap passed away from ALS. Now she and Lee are together again and what a grand and glorious reunion it must be!

Lee Embodied Hope, Courage, Strength, and Love for Life

As I read the condensed version of this book in Reader's Digest, I was positive that the ending would reveal that Lee was currently happy and healthy and living with his loving family. Lee's mother relayed THAT much hope through her words, that I believed he was still with her on this earth. Apparantly, her pride and love for him transcends the boundaries of life.Amazing story of a boy which provides proof that there is not an obstacle we cannot overcome. Lee's courage was endless.

Be sure to have a box of kleenex with you!

My grandmother wrote this book about my uncle! He was the best guy ever! Male, female, kid, adult, anybody will be touched by this fabulous book. It showed me what I should value in life and also showed me what a great guy Lee grew up to be. Lee had a disease that you will learn about and relize what he went through throughout his lifetime. You will be truly glad you read this book and will be touched in so many different ways. It could change the way you look at life! This book also appeared in the Dec. 1998 Reader's Digest. Please take the time to read this heart warming book. You will be so glad you did!

Makes you want to hug your children

I read the condensed version in Readers Digest, and just had to buy the book. I'm glad I did, because the book is even better and more touching. This really is a feel good book, but it has a lot of substance to it. You'll love this book!
