Publisher's summary

The powerful story of an indomitable spirit, defying the odds from the very beginning. Born near death and legally deaf from within a fundamentalist polygamist commune in rural Montana, Lance Allred's story is the inspiring journey of an underdog who never gave up on a dream on his way to becoming the first deaf player in NBA history.

Believe in yourself is very powerful

If only I had half as much belief in myself as Lance. Such an inspiring story. I found myself tearing up a few times as I listened to his story
