The football star made famous in the hit film "The Blind Side" reflects on how far he has come from the circumstances of his youth. While many people are now familiar with Oher's amazing journey, this is the first time he shares his story in his own words.

"I''d understand if some people out there felt like another re-telling of the Oher story was flogging a dead horse, but personally, I feel like there''s a need for Oher''s own opus."

"In a development I actually think is really great, Michael Oher will be publishing his own memoir now that his parents'' story, "The Blind Side", has been so thoroughly covered. It''s long been my position that some of the uncomfortable things about the way that story gets covered are the simple result of the fact that he hasn''t chosen to talk very much -- as this article points out, he contributed little in the way of interviews to either the book or the movie -- and I''ll be happy to hear what the guy''s got to say."
