Non-Fiction Memoir

As a child in the 1970s and into his teens, Brad Cohen was viewed by many adults as purposefully misbehaving when, in fact, he had no control over his twitches and noises, which only increased in number and intensity the more stress he felt. “Woop! Ja . . . ja . . . JA!” Brad was ridiculed, mocked, beaten up, and shunned. Even today he is ejected from movies and restaurants. Has it stopped him? Not on your life. This story of personal challenges and unwavering determination proves anyone can make their dreams come true. Brad Cohen, Tourette syndrome and all, won Georgia’s First Class Teacher of the Year Award and continues to be the teacher he never had. His compelling story concludes with 23 motivational tips on living with a disability. No one can read Brad’s story and fail to see the power of a positive attitude.
