The inspiring story of a young thalidomide victim and talented musician who has gained international recognition. Wonderful reading for anyone--especially those facing seemingly insurmountable difficulties. Eight pages of black and white photos. (Harper & Row)
This is a very good and inspiring read. Tony has/had an amazing mother and family that supported and encouraged him when they realized that he was born with no arms. He was a thalidomide baby and a great example of how strong one can be with a good strong family backing one up. I found a copy of this in a library and so had to return that one, though passed it around for others to read as well seeing as it is such a good book. high recommend.

Tony Melendez was born without arms and yet grew up to play guitar for the Pope!! His story is exceptionally inspirational and well written. Tony also has released a few gospel cds and his music is great. A true man of God who gives hope to all those who are different in some way.
