"I laughed, I cried and I laughed until I cried.” “Hugh seems to tell his story so honestly that you can’t help but like him, root for him, and be inspired by him. I will tell anyone who will to listen to read it!."

"This is an amazing book, written with a lot of heart and authenticity about an individual who shows admirable courage and resilience in the face of difficult circumstances. You can see where the character of the man stems from: a little boy who is determined to fit in and eventually succeed against major odds. The story will engage you (it's a page turner), and will also make you laugh out loud. What a sense of humor the author has!"

"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. Bob Jones (Cleft Affected Adult)

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."
