"The book shares tender moments of the author's humiliation as a child and young adult but shows that those moments never deterred him from achieving his goals. His humor and ability to laugh at himself is a gift we all would be blessed with."

I don’t know how familiar you are with Mr. Gillard’s book, but I would recommend it to anyone including children, family or friends with cleft palate difficulties.

I found it laugh-out-loud funny, insightful and deeply moving all at once.  A great read - kudos!

"....I laughed and cried, sometimes both at the same time"

"It's eminently readable, interesting, humorous and devoid of self-pity."

"Reading this book provided some of the funniest few hours of my life."

"It was a very enjoyable read which, not only made me laugh out loud, but also broke my heart from time to time. (His) voice is loud and clear throughout the book. It is well written, humorous, passionate, tender, enlightening and heartwarming."
