As told straight fromthe Blind side young man

I will definitely read it.

I read it on Kindle this past weekend, it was incredible! I could not put it down!

I started reading the book yesterday, it's an easy read and hopefully a big help to kids with his background. I love how this book is getting away from the over dramatization of the Blind Side movie, and is filling in the pieces on who this young man really was/is. Thank goodness.

Do any of you let your kids watch movies or read books like this? P, my oldest, read "A Boy Called It" when he was about 11. I thought about Finding Fish, the movie about Antwone Fisher. But as "real" as that movie was, I hate how the foster parents acted.

Not my bio sons, as they do not have that background but I do see monitoring such materials. Now I did like Antwone Fisher story as an adult, but I was not too knowledgeable about adoption.foster care at that time. But as far as I know it was his story. I would personally be careful how these movies or books are depicted, and the subtle messages. That's why I did not care at all for The Blindside, read up on it, read all of the gushing feed-back. When I finally saw it, (months later) I felt nothing but hopelessness. The way the actor (he was good btw) had his head hanging down.. etc; I can imagine how a Black kid/boy would feel otherwise. I think the football scenes helped..but underneath it, to me it glorified the CC people in the movie and not the others who helped him prior..or the young man himself. bleh.
