Sometimes written with humor and sometimes sadness, this is an uplifting book that will help anyone living with a terminal disease. LaPerriere is an inspiration, as he does his best to stay positive despite the realities of living with ALS. <strong>(ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK GO TO OTHERS FIGHTING ALS.)</strong></p>
