Overview

What if you had only one hand? How would you survive? As such a person, I detail many examples of coping in this book, such as when someone asks me if I need a hand-I have a perfect answer to open a conversation with that person. It is always interesting to watch as people misjudge the ability of a person with one hand. I have on many occasions shocked a person with my ability. Also coming with one hand is the desire to do as much or more than a person with two hands, which has landed many a situation that one would not expect. This book describes many extraordinary events in the life of a man with one hand.
