A Farm Accident, and a Medical Miracle
Monday, May 07, 2007
Michael McCarthy reports on the incredible real-life story of an Illinois corn farmer who was so badly burned that only his feet--protected by new steel-toe boots--escaped injury. And he explains the extraordinary medical care the accident inspired, in The Sun Farmer.
The Sun Farmer is available for purchase at amazon.com
