Someone Like Me by Senior Chief Petty Officer John Quinn. The memoir of a man with cerebral palsy who joined the Navy keeping his infirmity a secret and rose to the high enlisted rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer, with honors. Chronology Books http://www.johnwquinn.com

My daughter, son-in-law and grandson joined us last weekend on a camping trip and brought along this book. Being prior Navy, the picture of the Senior Chief all decked out in Dress Whites on the cover caught my eye. I opened it up and the next thing that drew my attention was the inscription to my grandson Zachary by Sr. Chief Quinn. Turns out that Nathan, Renee and Zachary have been Facebook friends with John for quite some time now!

I started reading and was hooked. I disappeared into the book and finished it that weekend. In my opinion, a wonderful story of determination and sheer guts and achieving a goal in the face of what might cause many others to give up.
