Greg Smith's life is a modern day miracle. Born with muscular dystrophy, Greg has turned his physical challenges into his greatest strengths, and has given inspiration to millions through "On a Roll-Talk Radio on Life & Disability," a nationally syndicated radio show that he created and hosted from his power wheelchair for over a decade. Greg's memoir is an honest and uplifting story of one African-American man's quest for independence, love, and success. It provides a rare "insider's look" at the crossroads in America where family, disability, race, and inspiration meet. A father of three, Greg now speaks and broadcasts as "The Strength Coach," and has devised a game-plan to teach us all how to build inner strength by "working out with the weights of life's challenges." The subject of the Award-Winning PBS Documentary, "On A Roll: Family, Disability and the American Dream," Greg has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Essence Magazine, the New York Times and on "The Early Show" by CBS. He is a professional member of the National Speakers Association and a 1986 graduate of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. Book jacket.… (more)
