Description

Learn how Kentucky basketball player-turned-quadriplegic Ron Adams overcame seemingly impossible odds to become a successful attorney. As one of Kentucky's top high school basketball players, "Ronnie" Adams dreamed of playing in the NBA, until a coal mining accident left him a quadriplegic at the age of 19. Despite his debilitating injury, Adams earned a business degree at Murray State University and a JD/MBA at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University, and is now a successful attorney. Coal Mine to Courtroom is painfully honest, often revealing uncomfortable details, always with humor and sensitivity. It is an uplifting, compelling story about relationships, loss, love, survival, and salvation. “The stories about what happened…are related in the memoir with such raw honesty…” – Kentucky Monthly "An intriguing but idiosyncratic account of an impressive life... remarkably inspirational." - Kirkus Reviews "...a testimony to resilience, perseverance, and re-envisioning the future.” – Diane T. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
