Useful Citizen: My Story from Braces to Bunkers

By Patrick Finucane

He wasn't supposed to survive surgery just hours after he was born.

He wasn't ever supposed to walk.

He proved them all wrong.

In USEFUL CITIZEN we follow Patrick Finucane's journey from overcoming his physical disability, until he reaches his dreams of just making a difference. Leaving the doubters in his wake, Finucane set out to prove to himself and others that he could still enjoy a meaningful life as an essential part of society. USEFUL CITIZEN follows Finucane as he becomes a successful firefighter and 911 dispatcher and thrives in these positions for almost five decades. USEFUL CITIZEN becomes an inspiring action packed story of Finucane's experiences that will gradually have you forget about his birth defect, and have you believe anyone can become and/or do anything they set their mind to. If you have ever doubted yourself or someone you know, this book is for you.
