https://www.amazon.com/Road-Again-Albert-Parnell/dp/B0DBSGWQ35

Eighty-two years ago, in a small apartment in Alexandria, Virginia, a boy with big dreams was born. In this wild but true story of a street-smart kid looking for opportunities amid a WWII-torn America, On the Road Again shows what perseverance, risk, and ingenuity can accomplish even when the deck is stacked against you. It demonstrates a powerful theology that self-belief and determination can overcome incredible and defying obstacles.

Albert Parnell’s engaging memoir tells the incredible story of how a high school party boy rose to become a nationally recognized toxic tort, asbestos defense trial lawyer, having graduated last in his high school class, and how an odyssey of odd jobs and big breaks led to a maverick in the making–from tractor-trailer truck driver to pool shark to civil rights activist to Atlanta bookie to Las Vegas “high-stakes” poker player to restauranter to national lecturer to Tik Tok social media mentor. Travel back in time and see how this fun-loving, forever party boy from nowhere grew to own every bar and courtroom he entered, building an empire that existed everywhere.

Join Sylvia on her journey with her glasses. It’s love at first “sight,” but when the excitement of the accessory wears off, how is she supposed to remember to use her glasses? Especially when she notices she can “see” without them?

Embedded within this engaging story are important insights for parents about the visual skills needed for learning in a classroom setting, and the subtle signs of visual problems which can be treated with glasses. Parents and children, alike, come away understanding the difference between “needing” glasses and “benefitting” from them as a powerful tool for learning and sustaining attention in the classroom.

If your child loves to learn, but doesn’t love to read, chances are there is a visual problem which has not been addressed. “Find a Doctor” resources are provided to locate eye doctors who treat learning-related vision problems around the globe.
