The Book of Tahl: From Homelessness to Paralympic Gold

Childhood illness; abusive alcoholic father; bipolar mother; violence; homelessness; teenage street hustler; celebrated Paralympian; prominent psychotherapist – the remarkable life of Tahl Leibovitz! Standing at 5’3” on badly deformed feet, Tahl can neither strengthen his arms nor flex his wrists because of the bone tumours in his body. They’re also one of the reasons why his hands and feet sweat excessively, forcing him to change his socks several times a day! Between the ages of 14 and 21, Tahl was homeless on the streets of New York where he stole to survive and dodged the violence of strangers by never staying in one place. This remarkable book charts his journey from social outcast to highly decorated American table tennis player, Paralympic gold medallist, inductee to the USA Table Tennis Hall of Fame, and respected psychotherapist with a thriving practice in New York City.
