Summary:
Mike May spent his life crashing through. Blinded at age three, he dified expectations by breaking world records in downhill speed skiing, joining the CIA, and becoming an inventor, entrepreneur, and family man. Then in 1999, a chance encounter brought startling news: a stem cell transplant surgery could restore his vision; but it was a surgery full of gambles, even deadly ones. A fascinating account of one man's choice to explore what it means to see - and to truly live.
