Book Synopsis
Whether facing undiagnosed dyslexia or the confusion of retail shopping, the dread of written employment tests or the fear of parachuting, the people in these stories show daily heroism. Their stories of improving their literacy skills as adults are both compelling and courageous. In this unique volume are stories of people who bravely overcame the word barrier, who have worked on their reading and other literacy skills while raising families and holding down jobs. Each success has helped a dream come within reach, from reading to a child to helping with homework, from passing a test to landing a job with better pay. The stories in this collection are truly inspirational; the decision to share them with others exemplifies a generosity of spirit and hope for others in similar circumstances.
