An autobiographical work ideal for adult and teen readers (whether disabled or able bodied), BORN DIFFERENT - SHORTHANDED by King Lear is a testament of life's triumphs despite things out of your control. By sharing some of his most cherished memories, King Lear seeks to inspire others to see how they too should not allow "difficulties" or "handicaps" to stop their efforts to rightfully live out their dreams as joyously and fully as God has ordained for every human being. "Set your dreams in depths and heights -- doing everything in your power to accomplish whatever it is you set forth," King Lear urges readers. Despite being born with a birth defect, King Lear did not allow labels, bullying or depression to stop him from achieving his goals. He was able to serve in the military, get married, obtain a degree, father wonderful children, become a real estate agent, and become an author. Released with assistance from BePublished.Org in July 2017, BORN DIFFERENT - SHORTHANDED by King Lear is available for order worldwide via KingLear.Net and also via Kindle as an e-book for $9.95 or as a softback for $19.95 (plus shipping and taxes) from bricks-and-mortar and online book retailers including Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and your local bookstore.
