Kevin Saunders' is arguably the greatest paraplegic athlete. The winner of two bronze medals in the past Olympics, Saunders' story -- beginning with the horrific grain elevator explosion that snapped his spine -- through his triumphant sprint to the finish line is a pretty good read. Saunders is no paper hero: he screws up along the way and occasionally gets involved in a laugh-out-loud funny situation. But the main thrust is the motivational message -- you CAN do this. And there's ALWAYS a way. A good afternoon read for teen-agers or adults.
