Reviews

"A thoroughly absorbing read with a rich and satisfying feast of character, history, family strife, love and grief.  Although a tragic tale, this is ultimately uplifting and inspiring with an expression of devotional love and indomitable spirit."  Melrose Books


"This true story about a boy who inherited a fatal blood disease, a sister whose unconditional love for her brother helped both achieve success, and fame in spite of living with a dysfunctional family, a mother who could not face reality, a womanizing, gambling, Mafia affiliated, ill tempered father, and a passive younger sister.  Who Said I Can't is a gripping story, a lesion to all."   Louise Montclare, Executive Editor, Martinelli Press.


'Who said I can't...'  2007 Publication

By its nature, disability, or impairment is non-discriminatory in who it targets;  it can enter our lives without invitation, at any time.  And suddenly, without warning, or apology, something we take for granted can be diminished or taken away.

In 'Who said I cant...' we glimpse into another persons' world and read how ordinary lives can become shattered in a simple moment.  We gain an appreciation of how through an individual's spirit, willpower and at times sheer bloody mindedness their life becomes an extra-ordinary one.

Regardless of the impairment or disability overcoming the hurdles takes strength, perseverance and a belief in oneself.  Another ingredient that assists in conquering the obstacles and challenges faced by people with a disability is the tolerance, acceptance, patience and understanding of the wider community.  Anti-Discrimination Commissioner


Who Said I Can’t is a remarkable story of love, faith, and resilience. A brother and sister’s love and care and intelligence and choice offer hope amidst dark times and challenges in family life where chromic illness is constant presence. Their stories are a reflection of The Hero’s Journey as it ripples throughout ordinary lives and transforms those who heed its call. I think this is a story that would do well on a big screen.
