TURN AROUND BOOK
First came the bestselling book, then the Oscar-nominated movie—the story of Michael Oher and the family who adopted him has become one of the most talked-about true stories of our time. But until now, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy have never told this astonishing tale in their own way and with their own words.
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 raised two remarkable children—Collins and Sean Jr.—who shared 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, In a Heartbeat, the Tuohys take us on an extraordinary journey of faith and love—and teach us unforgettable lessons about the power of giving.

TURN AROUND JOURNAL
This journal is the accompanying piece to LEIGH ANNE TUOHY’s Best Selling Devotional, TURN AROUND. We suggest using the journal as you read the book to make notes of her inspirational quotes, ways to give, ideas and thoughts on intentional living. The book, TURN AROUND outlines how giving isn’t always about money, much less a lot of money. Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose family inspired the hit film The Blind Side, challenges us to re-think what giving really means.Turn Around is a five-day-per-week devotional that uses scripture as a springboard to reconsider what it means to give sacrificially, generously, and immediately―many times, without having to leave your own community. We encounter opportunities to give every single day; what may seem like a small gesture to us may take a world of difference in someone else’s life. Make your next step one that causes you to turn around and meet a need.
