The Adventures of Another American!

An autobiography, this is a first-hand account of a troubled teen who had way more than his fair share of misfortune. Born bald and innocent, Bobby was just three years old when his father died. The sun rose and set many times before his hair grew long and trouble came knocking at his door. Following in his father's footsteps, a guy who never learned to slow down and who died young, Bobby makes his first trip to reform school at age fourteen, quickly learning that he is as tough or tougher than the other young outlaws on the block. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are all part of his personality, and the girls think he is pretty cool. After a terrible motorcycle crash in 1981, Bobby is paralyzed from his chest to the tips of his toes. He is lucky to be alive and he knows it. This troubled teen develops into a man who hopes his story will help turn other people "from their evil ways." Bobby Fordham says, "I am a T-4 paraplegic, which put an abrupt end to my criminal career and fist fighting days."
