This book is hard to put down.” —Phil Keoghan, founder of No Opportunity Wasted and Emmy Award-winning host ofThe Amazing Race“If you’ve heard Kyle speak, you know that he tells the story of his incredibly difficult journey through life with a humorist’s touch. His book,Heart of Iron, is no different. It is heartbreaking at times, even tragic.
