Product Description:

David E. Starbuck takes us into the life of Dr. Young-Woo Kang, who became blind as a young boy in Korea when he was hit in the head by a soccer ball. Shortly after his injury, Kang lost his mother, and sister. Rather than letting this adversity stop him, Kang persevered. He went to college, first in Korea, then in the United States. He became a professor at Northeastern University in Chicago. He is currently a Presidential appointee to the National Council on Disability. Dr. Kang wrote an autobiography, â€œA Light in My Heart,â€ which was also made into a movie in Korea.
