  When Petey Corbin is born in 1920, no one knows about cerebral palsy. After struggling to care for her frail infant who is often racked by seizures, Petey's mother reluctantly places him in an asylum. There, he is labeled an idiot and ignored. Few people look beyond his twisted body to see the intelligence in his eyes. Then another young resident, Calvin Anders, arrives in Petey's ward. As he learns to understand Petey's garbled sounds, Calvin becomes his spokesman and best friend. Years later, however, they are separated when Petey is moved to a nursing home. Alone and withdrawn, Petey wonders if he will ever find another person who understands him. Ben Mikaelsen, award-winning author of Rescue Josh McGuire, Stranded, and other popular books for young adults, has crafted a poignant tale of friendship and triumph over disabilities. Petey was chosen by the New York Public Library as one of its 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and it won the Western Writers of America Award.

  You Can Too - Your Story is for...

  YOUR STORY IS FOR GOD’S GLORY 
  God tells us in Hebrews 13:5 that he will never leave us or forsake us. Angela Cunningham Simms has found this truth to be profoundly accurate throughout her 50+ years, especially in times of dire adversity. Through all her life’s challenges—drug addiction, abuse, prison, and homelessness with four children—God has remained at her side and consistently matched calamity with peace and healing. And now, she’s sharing her testimony for anyone who believes they may be beyond aid or redemption. 
  “I have a heart for lost souls because I know how it feels to be lost, confused, and to feel invisible,” Simms boldly states. 
  In You Can Too, she bares a dark past filled with poor choices and illustrates, 
  in contrast, what God has done in her life since she came into a relationship with Him. “God forgives our sins, but he doesn’t always remove the consequences,” she reminds everyone who feels stuck within their own turmoil. 
  Today, Angela celebrates, “The God I serve is an awesome God!” And in You Can Too, 
  she encourages everyone, “Your story is for God’s glory.”
