Who among us wouldn't look twice at a legless man whizzing through the streets of Prague or Tokyo, propelled solely by his hands and a skateboard? Double Take, A Memoir, by Kevin Michael Connolly, is a retrospective on living large despite being born without legs. Rather than accepting what he felt were tools with limitations, Kevin rejected a wheelchair and prosthetics at a very young age. His book recounts how he approached life instead - with lots of courage and determination from the ground up. Now 23, Kevin is an X Games Silver medalist. His international photo shoot, The Rolling Exhibition, chronicles his solo tour of 15 countries capturing 30,000 "double take" images of surprised onlookers. Reading this amazing memoir just might have you looking at your own life a little more deeply. A great story by any measure, delivered straight, with humor and humility. Check it out!
