Non-Fiction Memoir
Blindness became Captain Scotty Smiley’s journey of supreme
testing. As he lay helpless in the hospital, he resented the
theft of his dreams—becoming a CEO, a Delta Force operator,
or a four-star general. With his wife Tiffany’s love and the
support of his family and friends, Scotty’s response became
God’s transforming moment. The injury only intensified his
indomitable spirit. Since the moment he jumped out of a
hospital bed and forced his way through nurses and cords to
take a simple shower, Captain Scotty Smiley has climbed
Mount Rainier, won an ESPY as Best Outdoor Athlete, surfed,
skydived, become a father, earned an MBA from Duke, taught
leadership at West Point, commanded an army company, and won
the MacArthur Leadership Award. Scotty and Tiffany Smiley
have lived out a faith so real that it will inspire you to
question your own doubts, push you to serve something bigger
than yourself, and encourage you to cling to a Hope Unseen.
