Father Patrick Martin was born the seventeenth child in a family of twenty-two children of David and Amanda Martin, Limestone, Maine, on March 18, 1944. Believe it or not, his first 9 years were quite normal. Then, in July, 1953, meningitis hit, landing him in the hospital for 5 months and robbing him of his sight, his balance, and all memories of his first 9 years of life. The book you are now holding is the tale of how he learned to see his whole life, yes, even his poor balance and blindness, as the greatest GIFT he has for this world! He has traveled all over the world speaking always of God's love for His broken people. I am sure you will laugh, and cry, with him as he tells the adventures of his thrilling life story. I'M NOT ALONE ANYMORE is his sixth book about his blind journeys through life.
