[Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charlie is so funny! Lucy is so inspiring - even if she doesn't think so. They are not all about ALS, they are about families pulling together and giving encouragement beyond that inner circle back to the community. This book was written a while ago. But, read it and google Charlie for the updates.

I enjoyed this book mainly because I know Charlie and his family. He is a genuine and tenderhearted man that you can't help but love. This is a wonderful story.
