No Lost Causes by Alvaro Uribe

No Lost Causes by Alvaro Uribe

The author recovers from potentially permanent brain damage, but is given a prognosis for a life of limited physical activity following a car crash. The gift of another chance to live allows him the enhanced perspective that life should continue to be a daily adventure. While his peers are coming home from war in body bags, he embraces serial retirement. Harboring a thirst for more, he never totally abandons a child's passion.
