Joe "Duff" McBride's new book, A Tale of Two Gimps: "Such is Life",
tells the eye opening and, at times, side-splitting story of his misadventures
as a self-titled "gimp" the result of a car accident as a teenage
boy that left him physically disabled, but with his sense of humor
fully intact.
His witty perspective on life, especially the difficulties of his
new situation, is shared and even amplified by his friendship with
Mouse, another teenage boy who finds himself in a similar predicament.
When the two teens become acquainted at a rehabilitation hospital
in Philadelphia, they are both also becoming acquainted with the tremendous
challenges forced upon them by their spinal cord injuries. These problems
are more than just the physical handicaps, but the emotional and psychological
ones as well, as the two boys manage to keep the spirits of others
high as well as their own, at the same time that they struggle daily
with the kinds of basic activities that most people take for granted.
Even though the book is intended to entertain the reader with unblinking
honesty and biting humor, it also presents a remarkable account of
two young men doing the best they can with the devastating turn of
events which could easily break anyone's spirit. Spanning over 23
years, their story ranges from shocking to heartwarming, but it is
never pointless or trite.
A Tale of Two Gimps is a unique work, and truly shows how, for these
two indomitable young men,
"it was the worst of circumstances, and it was the best of circumstances."
