Noah Galloway with Rebecca Angel Baer

the remarkable rebirth of an American soldier

"America knows Noah Galloway as the war hero who overcame the loss of his left arm and leg and became a world-class athlete, motivational speaker, finalist on Dancing with the Stars, and star of American Grit. [This] is Noah Galloway's story, with all of its joy and pain. Before the cameras started rolling, Noah was a father with bills to pay and children to raise, living in a world that didn't cut him a break, even after he returned from war. Behind the photo shoots and television appearances is the real story of the horrors of war and the damage it does. There are some wounds the world doesn't see, but they can inflict pain worse than bombs or bullets. They can lead to despair, unless one finds the strength to heal them. Noah Galloway lost more than limbs, but never gave up. His is a story of success and failure, courage and weakness, tears and triumphs. It's about surviving in the real world where life isn't always fair and some wounds are self-inflicted. Noah fought those battles and won. Now, he's living with no excuses."--Front flap of jacket
