Knowing Paul as a friend, and working at Crossroads School, this book was wonderful. Inspiring for anyone nervous about making a leap and trying something daring. Paul relates to the reader as a humble, normal guy, who just decided to go for it. It was hard and depressing at times, but he kept going, day by day, and made a big difference in the world.
