Summary
Details

"Immerse yourself in the inspiring story of an individual who overcame tremendous challenges to pursue his passion. This book tells the story of an author who, despite severe dyslexia, transformed his love for fish into a career as a marine biologist.

Jeffrey McLain had all the makings of a perfect childhood, but something wasn't right. He had trouble reading and performing academically. At the age of seven, he was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and moved to a different school to a special day class for several years. Throughout this period, he wrestled with persistent self-doubt, coming to the realization that education would be a challenge he would face his entire life.

The outdoors became a refuge from the classroom for McLain, as he pursued interests in the natural environment of his neighborhood, leading to a passion for fish. Despite significant challenges, McLain graduated from high school, earned a bachelor's degree, and later completed a master's in marine biology, paving the way for a successful career as a fish biologist.

During adulthood, McLain discovered he was made for a purpose by God. After more than 30 years as a federal employee, he shares how his disability and faith become indispensable tools navigating the workplace. ""Fish out of Water"" is a celebration of God's love, and how disability becomes ability as McLain finds his purpose. McLain's story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the triumph over the adversity of dyslexia.

An absolute must-read for anyone looking to understand and empower those with dyslexia. Purchase this book today."
