Life So Far is a touching story about a boy named Ronnie who got very sick when he was young. He had a disease called polio, which made it hard for him to walk and use his arms. But Ronnie was a brave boy, and he never gave up. He always tried his best and never let his sickness stop him from having fun and making friends.
The story begins in rural Kansas, where the author and Ronnie grew up. Their father, Arthur, was a hardworking blue-collar worker, and their mother, Iona, was a dedicated homemaker. The family faced financial difficulties, especially during the Great Depression. Ronnie's battle with polio added another layer of complexity to their lives.
The book is told by Ronnie's brother, who loved him very much. He tells us all about Ronnie's life, from when he was a little boy to when he grew up and had a family of his own. We learn about the things Ronnie liked to do, like playing with his friends, going to school, and even driving cars! Even though things were sometimes hard for Ronnie, he always found a way to be happy.
The author, Martin, chose to write this book to honor his brother's memory and share his inspiring story with the world. He wanted people to know about Ronnie's incredible courage, his unwavering spirit, and his ability to find joy even in the face of adversity.
