Síntesis:
"Profoundly deafened as an infant, Don Fulk didn't learn his name or go to school until the age of ten. At the age of 18 and a budding superstar on his football and basketball teams he broke his neck and was confined to a bed for eight years. When his family could no longer care for him, he spend nine years in a nursing home where he suffered from abuse and neglect. Yet though life marred by frustration and isolation, Don endured with courage, tenacity and wit"-- Provided by publisher.
