From the Publisher:
Saul Raisin's professional cycling career came to a shuddering halt on April 4th 2006 when he crashed near the finish of the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. His initial injuries were deemed not life threatening but he fell into a coma due to excessive bleeding in the brain. With his parents rushing to his side from Georgia, an immediate operation was performed. It saved his life but the doctors still feared that Saul would be left in a vegetative state. Against all the odds he survived and with the support of family, friends and his Credit Agricole team was back riding his bike in August. Read Saul's amazing story and marvel at his positive attitude and sheer persistence in his quest for a full recovery.
