One Man's Leg

As a child growing up in a working-class Massachusetts city, Paul Martin took part in athletic competition to provide some relief from an otherwise difficult childhood and from time in a foster home. He wound his way through his early 20s with determination, humor and uncertainty, working in construction, going to college and eventually starting a career. But it wasn't until the age of 25, when he lost the lower half of his left leg in a car accident, that Paul Martin looked in the mirror and made a true commitment to his life and his future--and went on to become a world champion triathlete and Paralympic competitor and inspirational speaker.

ONE MAN'S LEG is Paul's Martin's memoir, the story of his life to date--and what a life it has been! Whether a passage is laugh-out-loud funny, fiercely heartbreaking or gently thought provoking, few readers will fail to be captivated by Paul Martin's adventures--and misadventures!

Paul Martin and his book are an inspiration to anyone who has stared adversity in the face and decided to win the battle.
