When Your Back’s Against the Wall

When Your Back’s Against the Wall

Michael Oher 224 pages Young Adult

Danny Says

Anyone who knows me knows I am drawn to positive books, especially for teens. Oher’s story of overcoming the toughest of odds serves as their hope. This book chronicles his unexpected highs: a college degree; four beautiful, healthy children and a happy marriage; drafted in the first round; a Super Bowl victory; and a second chance to play in the “big game.” But it also examines his lows: poverty, hunger, homelessness, struggles in school, bullying, job loss, brain injury, anxiety and depression. Inspiring and needed.
