The inspiring, true story of one man's journey through loss and love, told with humor and heroism.
A survivor of child abuse, upheaval and 13 foster homes, Tom Watson learned at an early age to overcome adversity. Rescued at the age of five by the Watson family, he found new hope and love that helped to heal his deep physical and emotional wounds. Encouraged by a community of supporters, Tom learned vital lessons in patience, perseverance, laughter and tradition. Years later, these lessons would be put to the ultimate test as Tom faced heartbreaking losses that threatened to destroy him. A stunning revelation of one man's determination to live life to its fullest, Man Shoes demonstrates that new beginnings are possible at any age and at any stage of life, no matter what obstacles get in the way. This story is an important reminder that we can live a better life and influence others to do the same!
A must read for men of all ages, and for the women who love them.

Great Read,

This review is from: Man Shoes (Hardcover)
What a story! Emotional rollercoaster. If I wouldn't have read the book, I wouldn't have believed Tom's story happened that way. All the better for the fact that I spent two and a half years in high school with Tom. Never knew how Tom's life turned out after grad.

This review is from: Man Shoes (Hardcover)
The story of this man's life will help people who are struggling with their own problems. When times become difficult you will be able to gain strength to push forward. The many ups and downs will have you feeling like you are there with the author through a half century of tests. Life is not always easy and those who have been through what this man has survived are inspirations.
