Rockwell is a freelance author, speaker, competitive body builder, and engineer, will discuss his new book, The Power of Life, a Story about Tragedy to Triumph, at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W.

Rockwell�s story began one morning when he left for work and suffered a horrific accident. He was 36 years of age. The ordeal would leave him deaf, unable to speak and suffering from a host of other injuries. Through years of rehabilitation, he recreated himself, both physically and mentally. He says he returned to a life that was better than the one he had before. For more information regarding this presentation, contact Chris Smith, manager of Adult Programming for the library, at
