ARCHBISHOP RYAN H.S. (PA) Creates Video Trailer for Imperfect

Students from Archibiship Ryan High School in Philadelphia, PA recently created a video trailer for Imperfect: An Improbable Life, by Jim Abbott and Tim Brown, which they are reading as part of their One Book, One School program.  Imperfect is former Major League Baseball pitcher Abbott’s honest and insightful memoir about the insecurities — on and off of the field — of a life spent without a right hand. The book, currently available in hardcover, will be published in paperback March 2013.
