Reseña del editor

Eleven-year-old Henry J. Seiler was an energetic kid, an athlete who excelled in wrestling. But his life changed drastically one fine spring day in 1975 when he climbed on the back of a friend's motorcycle and went for a spin.

Minutes later, Henry was lying in a crumpled heap. Rushed to the hospital in nearby Des Moines, Iowa, he spent the next forty-five days in a coma. After suffering a traumatic brain injury, Henry wasn't expected to live. Henry Dared to Live is Henry's personal and inspirational story of his recovery and determination to live and thrive. He employed the same strong-willed determination in life as he did with developing his wrestling skills, using it to overcome his physical challenges.

In Henry Dared to Live, Henry encourages us to handle life as it comes, working through every day as if it were any other day. Abiding by his motto, "I know where I am going, and I know what it takes to get there," was his key to success. Henry knows what it is like to be flat on his back, staring at the ceiling tiles, but he made a great reversal and came out a winner.
