Lewis, Michael (Michael M.). Blind side. (Added Author). Hancock, John Lee. (Added Author). Bullock, Sandra. (Added Author). McGraw, Tim. (Added Author). Aaron, Quinton, 1984- (Added Author). Bates, Kathy, 1948- (Added Author). Sandra Bullock with Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron and Kathy Bates. (Cast).

Summary: "Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) knows little about family. Less about football. What the homeless teen knows are the streets and projects of Memphis. Well-to-do Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) knows little about his world. Yet when she and Michael meet, he's found a home. And the Tuohys have found something just as life-changing: a beloved new son and brother. This real-life story of family and of Michael's growth into a blue-chip football star will have you cheering with its mix of gridiron action and heartwarming emotion. Share the remarkable journey of the college All-American and first-round NFL draft pick who was a winner before he ever stepped onto the playing field."--Container.
