Having never uttered a word in his life, 40-year-old Jim Grimm profoundly and joyfully touches the lives of all who come to know him. Born with cerebral palsy and unable to communicate verbally or move of his own volition, Jim has turned what by all accounts is a severely isolating lifelong disability into a gift for connecting deeply with others. The Heart's Alphabet is Jim's self-told story, painstakingly spelled out, letter by letter, with the assistance of an interpreter. It is a tale of personal perseverance, a tribute to loving families, and-most of all-a testament to the possibilities that lie within each of us.
