Book Excerpt

On A Roll: Reflections from the Wheelchair Dude with the Winning Attitude -- $22.50

As my co-workers were having babies and proudly bringing them to the office, I envied the joy on their faces and the profound changes that parenthood brought to their lives. I wanted to be called “Dad.”

Terri’s doctor gave us a chart to monitor her ovulation. Back at the office, I pulled a manila file out of my desk drawer and grabbed a red Sharpie. On the label, I scribbled the following words: “Greg Junior.”

There it was, facing me every day. A tangible folder with red ink on the tab. That folder was the real fertilization of my baby, the phys- ical connection that began as an idea. It stared at me every day as a constant reminder that “Greg Junior” actually existed. Before he was a fertilized egg, he was a folder. Before he was a folder, he was an idea swimming around in my brain.

Two months later, we were back at the obstetrician’s office. It was Halloween. A clown greeted us at the front desk. A witch took Terri’s temperature and blood pressure. After a short wait, a cowboy reached for his holster and fired a memorable shot. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life.

“Congratulations,” he smiled. “You are going to be parents!”

Greg Smith's life is a modern day miracle. Born with muscular dystrophy, Greg has turned his physical challenges into his greatest strengths, and has given inspiration to millions through “On A Roll – Talk Radio on Life & Disability,” a nationally syndicated radio show that he created and hosts from his power wheelchair. Greg Smith's memoir is an honest and uplifting story of one African American man's quest for independence, love and success. This book provides a rare "insider's look" at the crossroads in America where family, disability, race and inspiration meet.
