LIKE ANY NORMAL DAY : A STORY OF DEVOTION
by Mark Kram, Jr.

Buddy Miley was an incredible athlete and excelled at whatever he played. His favorite sport was football. He was the star quarterback of his high school football team and Joe Namath was his idol. In 1973, Buddy was severely injured in a game. He broke his neck and his vertebrae was shattered. Buddy would spend the next twenty-three and a half years of his life either bedridden or in a wheelchair lovingly cared for by his mother. His younger brother, Jimmy, was extremely devoted to him and would help out in any and every way he could. The bond between them was inseparable.
The life that Buddy lived was anything but normal.
This story is gut-wrenching. It's beautiful, sad, compassionate, and powerful. The author really knows how to bring everything together: the family, sports, friends, and anybody else who was touched by the events.
It's great writing.
Recommended.
