In that instant, Bill Bobbitt left behind the secure life he had always known, the future hehad always envisioned, and embarked on an extraordinary journey. It was a long journey, and he encountered many obstacles and perils along the way: death and despair, fear and doubt, the knowledge that he might never walk again, addiction to morphine, the breakup of his mBobbitt, William P. is the author of 'There Are No Dragons On Cloud 9 ' with ISBN 9781420811759 and ISBN 1420811754.
