In a Heartbeat by Anne Leigh Tuohy
For Leigh Anne and Sean, it all begins with family. Leigh Anne, the daughter of a tough-as-nails U.S. Marshal, decided early on that her mission was to raise children who would become 'cheerful givers'. Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be 'a place of miracles'. Together, they raised two remarkable children - Collins and Sean Jr. - who shared their deep Christian faith and their commitment to making a difference. And then one day Leigh Anne met a homeless African-American boy named Michael and decided that her family could be his. She and her husband taught Michael what this book teaches all of us: everyone has a blind side, but a loving heart always sees a path toward true charity. Michael Oher's improbable transformation could never have happened if Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy had not opened their hearts to him. In this compelling, funny, and profoundly inspiring book, the Tuohys take us on an extraordinary journey of faith and love - and teach us unforgettable lessons about the power of giving.The matriarch of the Tuohy family, made famous by Michael Lewis' classic novel The Blind Side, is Leigh Anne Tuohy. The book was later adapted into a blockbuster film starring Sandra Bullock as Tuohy, which grossed over $300 million in its first weekend and became the highest-grossing sports film ever. Mrs. Smith is here today. Tuohy is the owner and creator of the interior design firm Flair I. Mrs. Johnson was a founding member of Grace Evangelical Church.
Tuohy is also involved in a number of community and faith-based groups. She has also appeared on CNN, Katie, Fox and Friends, Good Morning America, 20/20, The Today Show, Dr. Drew, Sean Hannity, Huffington Post Live, and Huckabee, to name a few. Leigh Anne has also written for the AARP weekly blog and More.com, offering advise via personal stories of resolve and charity giving, and has given talks to a wide range of audiences, including religious and corporate groups.
