"Iron Heart" by Brian Boyle



This book was phenomenal!!!  It is a true, inspirational story of a boy who is in a near-fatal car accident (not expected to live) and fights his way out of a coma to end up competing in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon world competition!!  This story is incredible and so worth the read!!  My favorite quote from the book is “’A person hasn’t lived until he has almost died, and for those who have fought for life, the world has a flavor the protected will never know.’ Life is all about taking risks and accepting challenges when facing adversity.  This sentiment might seem like a cliché, but to survivors like myself, it means never giving up.”
