Crashing Through: The Extraordinary True Story of the Man Who Dared to See by Robert Kurson. “Loved this true story!” From Amazon: “Mike May spent his life crashing through. Blinded at age three, he defied expectations by breaking world records in downhill speed skiing, joining the CIA, and becoming a successful inventor, entrepreneur, and family man. He had never yearned for vision. Then, in 1999, a chance encounter brought startling news: a revolutionary stem cell transplant surgery could restore May’s vision.”
