Publisher Notes: A Measure of Endurance
- The inspiring story of a teenage boy who, grievously injured by a defective machine, takes on its manufacturer and wins. Steven Sharp was a hardworking, well-liked 16-year-old growing up in a tiny farming community in eastern Oregon. In the last hour of the last day of a summer job on a local ranch, his life was changed forever when a huge baler he was inspecting suddenly and mysteriously turned itself on and severed both his arms. Near death, he managed to walk until he found help. He made a remarkable recovery, maintaining his optimism and zest for life. He had no intention of seeking redress until he learned that others had been similarly injured by the same kind of machine. (The manufacturer had made out-of-court settlements with those victims.) Now, with the help of a brilliant and idealistic trial lawyer named Bill Manning, Steven refused a settlement, took on the multinational, multibillion-dollar company, withstood their counterattack in court, and emerged triumphant. A Measure of Endurance is a gripping, poignant, and truly remarkable story.
