On May 11, 1945, the day that Germany surrendered the War, H. Dean Wills, then only 11 years old, found and old rusty box containing what looked like long, twenty-two shells. Having seen his uncle hit these shells to discharge them in the past, he decided to do the same. As his hammer struck the casing, the resulting explosion was that of a dynamite cap, and the 600 pounds per cubic inch of concussion sent copper fragments tearing through his body and face. Lifeâs Challenge of Adventure is a copy of courage and persistence that will uplift readers and give them greater understanding of the many challenges faced by those who live with a handicap, and what it takes to overcome those challenges to live not only a normal life, but a life marked by remarkable achievements.
