This book has been on my To Be Read (TBR) pile for so, so long. There were over 100 holds placed in front of me for it at my library! I placed the hold almost a year ago!!! I finally got the notice that it was available for pick up a little over a week ago and to say I was excited is an understatement. I loved the movie The Blind Side but the book that inspired the movie was written by a close friend of the Tuohy's. This was written by Sean and Leigh Anne and I wanted to read their perspective on their life and the story behind the movie. I really enjoyed the book. There were times that I really did "lol" at the passages. It is very heartwarming to see that there are people out there that do make a huge difference in people's lives. There were some eye rolling things in the book too. I can't believe that when they were building their house there were no plans for a kitchen and Sean had to convince her to put in a teeny tiny galley version of one. All because she won't cook. She refuses to cook. At all. All that eating out! It almost makes me mad that they can be so wasteful with that aspect of money. They are well off and already give so much time and money to their causes but still...that has to be some serious dough spent on, well dough eating outside the home. There were times that it seemed a tiny bit redundant with their mentioning their money. I don't think it was intentional in the way it came across. They were just trying to show how they had money and could give it away. Let's be real for a second, if they weren't rich, would Michael Oher have had the opportunity to get private tutoring and have the extra help of BYU offering him extra classes so he could be eligible for the NCAA? I'm not sure. Over and over again both Leigh Anne and Michael said that he had a drive that was innate. He didn't succumb to the ghetto because he knew his life was going to mean something. That's well and fine but I do have the slightest feeling that being in the right place at the right time with the right people in your corner had a lot to do with things. Isn't that life though? Fate, circumstance and hard work? So it's easy for me to be skeptical and yet inspired and moved at the same time. I also found it quite hilarious about all the talking around "how Leigh Anne just is." There's so much run around her fanaticism. From the spotless, OCD-ness of her cleaning to her control over her kids in every.single.aspect of their lives. I know that the kids said that they might have felt pressure growing up but that was just how life is but I felt so sorry for them in certain ways. On one hand they seem to be very giving and loving people. They don't seem to have taken their wealth for granted. But on the other hand, they never really lived. They were overscheduled (by Leigh Anne's admitting) in their activities so that they never had a moment to rest. They had no privacy - Leigh Anne said that kids don't get privacy and what was their's was really hers. To a point I understand that. But she seems total overkill at times. In the south they might just be PC about things...but us big city northerners call some women like her capital Bs. To say she is over the top with everything in her life is to put it mildly. With that being said, her heart is just as over the top. The entire family's giving attitude is wonderful to see/read about. I think that what they have accomplished is very commendable. I think that they do show that there are people out there that give without expecting to be rewarded. That is the main point I take away from the book. It is about helping others and doing the right thing. It is about being selfless and learning to see the world through others eyes. I truely believe that they don't see black and white and brown. They just see a human being. There are two quotes from the book that stuck with me. From 2 Corinthians: "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." From Leigh Anne's grandmother "Don't talk about it, sister, live it."
