In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving Review

I thought this story would be cloying and mawkishly sentimental. I found this book to be a down-to-earth story of a family who saw a need in front of them and filled it. The gap between the well to do and those struggling just to survive has always bothered me. A simple solution is to care for those people who pop up in front of you just as the Tuohy Family did. Leigh Anne and Sean write about their life experiences and backgrounds in an honest manner and win sympathy for their struggles to overcome hardship. Their humanity and care for those around them are heartwarming and made me feel I could do the same, especially in these very hard times.

In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving Overview

For the first time, the remarkable couple depicted in The Blind Side tells their own deeply inspiring story

First came the bestselling book, then the Oscar-nominated movie—the story of Michael Oher and the family who adopted him has become one of the most talked-about true stories of our time. But until now, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy have never told this astonishing tale in their own way and with their own words.

For Leigh Anne and Sean, it all begins with family. Leigh Anne, the daughter of a tough-as-nails U.S. Marshal, decided early on that her mission was to raise children who would become "cheerful givers." Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be "a place of miracles." Together, they raised two remarkable children—Collins and Sean Jr.—who shared their deep Christian faith and their commitment to making a difference. And then one day Leigh Anne met a homeless African-American boy named Michael and decided that her family could be his. She and her husband taught Michael what this book teaches all of us: Everyone has a blind side, but a loving heart always sees a path toward true charity.

Michael Oher's improbable transformation could never have happened if Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy had not opened their hearts to him. In this compelling, funny, and profoundly inspiring book, the Tuohys take us on an extraordinary journey of faith and love—and teach us unforgettable lessons about the power of giving.
