Short Description
The story of Tom and Bryan’s experiences going to Special Olympics World Games in Ireland.
Published by: Morelos (US), 2004
Tom and Bryan are father and son as well as Unified Partners in Bowling with Special Olympics from Arizona. The book describes their experiences going to World Summer Games in Ireland in 2003. It covers the time before, during, and after the Games from Tom’s viewpoint with much of the emphasis being how his son was affected by the experience. There are also many descriptions of their family life apart from the Special Olympics experience (which frankly I found to be somewhat boring). However, the book gives a thorough description of what it is like to go through an very exciting experience.
