Street Smart Date: July 13 In a Heartbeat Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving by Leigh Anne & Sean Tuohy with Sally Jenkins ISBN: 9780805093384 $24.00 Hardcover Henry Holt & Company First came the New York Times-bestselling book The Blind Side by Michael Lewis, which told the story of Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, who adopted him into their family and led him to NFL stardom. Then came the 2009 film, with the Tuohys portrayed by country music superstar Tim McGraw as Sean, and, in her Oscar-winning performance, Sandra Bullock, as Leigh Anne.

For Leigh Anne and Sean, it all begins with family. Leigh Anne, the daughter of a tough-as-nails U.S. Marshal, decided early on that her mission was to raise children who would become "cheerful givers." Sean, who grew up poor, believed that one day he could provide a home that would be "a place of miracles." Together, they have raised two remarkable children--Collins and Sean Jr.--who share their deep Christian faith and their commitment to making a difference. And then one day Leigh Anne met a homeless African-American boy named Michael and decided that her family could be his. She and her husband taught Michael what this book teaches all of us: everyone has a blind side, but a loving heart always sees a path toward true charity. Michael Oher's improbable transformation could never have happened if Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy had not opened their hearts to him. In this compelling, funny, and profoundly inspiring book, the Tuohys take readers on an extraordinary journey of faith and love--and teach unforgettable lessons about the power of giving.
