The Boy In a Bucket
The Boy In A Bucket is a powerful story about a boy named Mikey who has no arms or legs and lives inside a bucket. But this is not a story about limits—it’s a story about breakthroughs. When Dick and Ginger, two educators who think beyond the usual rules, step into his life, they don’t just see a problem—they see a chance. With custom-built switches, creative thinking, and unwavering belief, they start building an education around Mikey’s voice, his mind, and his will to be seen. Slowly, Mikey begins to transform—not just learning, but discovering music, independence, and even joy. The story draws from deep real-world experience and delivers an emotional, inspiring look into what’s possible when no one gives up. It’s about connection, patience, and turning a so-called impossible life into one full of meaning.
The Pilot With No Arms or Legs
Born without arms or legs, Mackenzie “Mac” Simmons was never meant to fly. Yet from childhood, his mind proved sharper and stronger than any physical limitation. With his father’s ingenuity and the power of eye-gaze technology, Mac mastered flight through radio-controlled aircraft and quickly rose to national acclaim. When war engulfed the world, his unlikely gift propelled him into the United States Air Force Academy.
What follows is a story unlike any other in military fiction. Against every expectation, Mac becomes not only a combat pilot but also a pioneer of revolutionary aerial tactics. He builds squadrons of disabled men and women, pairing their unique strengths into teams that devastate enemy forces. From the Academy to the battlefield, from captivity and torture to rescue and command, Mac’s journey shatters the boundaries of courage and reinvents what it means to be a warrior.
At its heart, this is more than a war story. It is the story of love and loyalty between Mac and Jennifer Bright, of resilience passed down through the Simmons family, and of a new vision of warfare where weakness transforms into unstoppable strength.
