"The Little Things is an inspiring memoir that chronicles Wade's journey through extreme adversity and toward what he had always a loving family. The vignettes dealing with his youth are the most troubling aspects of The Little Things. For all he has been through—-including, most recently, the terrible medical care he received for his MS—-Wade is definitely a glass half full type of person. He remembers the kindness that people have shown him and takes pains to acknowledge it, which leads to one of the books most important "The kindness of others goes a long way, no matter how small."'
