There is an old Russian proverb that “One word of truth outweighs the whole world”. Your letters have a full vocabulary!                                                                                      F. D. Reeve (Father), Author and Poet

     Michael Kanouff’s Letters from the Edge is a gift to the world, not just those who live in the world of disability. With eloquence and a sharp sense of humor, he takes the reader on a journey from despair to inner peace. In the final chapter, “Fond Memories of the Future”, he fantasizes about recovery. This is an act of courage that could be easily dismissed by cynics, but is actually a legitimate projection based on cutting-edge research. Letters from the Edge is a book to be treasured for its wisdom, given to us by a man who truly understands what it means to be alive.                                                                                Christopher Reeve (Son), Actor and Author

A remarkable book... There is much to gain from reading Michael’s words describing his ten-year odyssey. Michael chose very early on in his experience of paralysis to uplift himself; this has been his journey. Let his words reverberate in your heart and help you to send any self-imposed paralysis out of your life.
Dr. Wayne Dyer


    Michael is a role model for anyone burdened with the gravity of a medical crisis. His vivid examples of overcoming the weight of paralysis and reaching for the sky will inspire and uplift your spirits.                                                                                     Commander Gerald P. Carr, NASA Skylab Astronaut
