Adam Brown is a hero.
That's the short version. This book was made on his request after his death in 2010. So many voices came together to make this book about his life. Some of them passed shortly after Adam. But this book isn't one of those biographies that sugar coats a life and makes it sound like the person was an angel.
Adam struggled with drugs early in life, but he didn't try to hide it. He chose when to tell people, but it was a part of who he was and what he overcame. He also fought against injuries. So many of the things he went through would break most people. But when this man went on his final mission, he had fought through injuries to the point where he had to learn to use one eye and shoot with his nondominant hand.
The man's life sounds like fiction, but he was a real hero. It's the ultimate redemption arc, which is evidenced by the number of people who remember him and the impact he made on their lives. I was in tears for much of the final part of the book. I don't tear up much while reading, so this was rough. The pictures were well chosen, and I commend the author for the work he did. This was definitely a story worth telling, and I think he did justice to the life of Adam Brown. Good Book!
