pickIn Eyes to the Wind, activist Ady Barkan shares the story of his devastating diagnosis with ALS at only 33, just months after the birth of his son, but also the story of his life and career in political activism. The result is a powerful, moving, and informative memoir, and Bradley Whitford does a beautiful job narrating.
Hit a major milestone this week in my reading, 200 books read in 2019.
Here is a quick recap of my week in reading: http://obsessedbookaholic.com/2019/09/16/weekly-reading-round-up-august-16-2019/
pickI was introduced to Ady Barkan on the Podcast Pod Save America. Ady is in his early 30‘s living with ALS, and I want to say he is living. He has played a very important role in the political landscape, and this forced him to push on even bigger issues, like healthcare.

pick4⭐️. For fans of When Breath Becomes Air and Chasing My Cure, this might be your next book to pick up. While it is focused more on his professional life rather than his personal life and fight with ALS, it is still a very interesting read about his inside views of the political events of the last couple of years. #netgalley #arc #reviewathon #EyesToTheWind
pickThis is a beautiful memoir about Ady who is an activist. He discovers he has ALS in his early 30's. This book is his story about continuing to be an activist despite his ALS and also how it progressed and its impact on him and those he loved. I found it hard to stop reading.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
