In a Heartbeat Summary

In a Heartbeat: How Cheerful Giving Changed Our Lives by Leigh Anne Tuohy

Thanks to a book and an Oscar-nominated movie, the story of the Tuohy family and their adoption of Michael Oher has become one of the most talked-about true stories of our time. Now, finally, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy tell this astonishing tale in their own way and with their own words. For Leigh Anne and Sean, it all begins with family. Early on, Leigh Anne decided that her mission was to raise children who would become 'cheerful givers', while Sean believed that some 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 when Leigh Anne and Sean opened their hearts to a homeless African-American boy named Michael, they transformed both his life and theirs.

In a Heartbeat Reviews

"For anyone wondering what more there might be to say about the inspiring story of The Blind Side, the answer is: plenty... They write with humor about their quirks and the joy that Michael brought to their family." --Publishers Weekly

"If you saw the movie The Blind Side, you saw a family that is quite honestly the most amazing family I think I have ever, ever seen... Remarkable, remarkable people." --Glenn Beck

"In The Blind Side I did my best to describe the full force of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, but there is only so much one writer can do. In A Heartbeat picks up where I left off, and gives the reader a much fuller portrait of these extraordinary people." --Michael Lewis

"All I can say is, if there were more Leigh Anne Tuohys, the world would be a better-run, more harmonious, and more productive place . . . She's such an amazing person." --Sandra Bullock

"Sean is an all-around good guy, and the inspirational story of what he and his family did for this kid--the time, the effort, and the love he put out--is pretty incredible." --Tim McGraw

"Their book aims to bring the Michael Oher miracle off the big screen and back down to Earth--and make sure that its message won't get lost here." --The Baltimore Sun
