One Man’s Leg is the story of Paul’s life from a less-than-gracious youth to his experiences in the 2000 Sydney Paralympic Games. From his days in a foster home to those in a fraternity house to those trying to decide which love to chase, this memoir is as much a celebration of learning each day of the journey as it is laughing at every opportunity.

Review Excerpts

“[Martin’s] breezy tone is nearly irresistible.”
–USA TODAY

“[Martin] tells [his] story with brutal honesty and a light touch… The end result is a heart-warming story—and good lessons about life.”
–LOS ANGELES TIMES

“…a crackerjack job. There are dozens of memoirs collecting dust on the shelves, because they were written stiffly and edited heavily to make the author appear more noble. Boring! Paul, though, writes about his life, warts and all, with amazing candor and sensitivity, no pageantry, no bologna. Wow, if we all had the courage to speak our truth like he does! … with an exquisite sense of wit and often laugh-til-it-hurts humor that’s more refreshing than a mouthful of Peppermint Patties.”
–Jillian Leslie, EverydayWarriors.com

“[a] courageous, funny, literate memoir.”
–Constant Reader Ann LaFarge, for Taconic (NY) Newspapers

“Simply put, Paul Martin is a winner and his autobiography is a powerful statement on what a person can achieve if they put their heart and soul into their efforts. The key to this nonfiction work is not the inspirational message that lifts anyone fortunate enough to heed its wisdom. Instead Mr. Martin never preaches, but always advocates going for the gold as an individual and even more significantly as part of a team because it is the accomplishment of reaching the finish line whether one wins the race or not because it is the feat that provides fulfillment.”
–Harriet Klausner, AllReaders.Com

"I've known Paul for many years and have marveled at his determination,
tenacity, and willpower. He has a wonderful optimistic outlook and Drinking from My Leg is a must read for any athlete."
—Dave Scott, 6-time Ironman World Champion

"This is the perfect book for every triathlete. You'll laugh so loud and be so inspired that you won't even notice Paul just talked you into signing up for your first Ironman. It's pure comical motivation!"
—Chris McCormack, 2007 Hawaiian Ironman World Champion

"Since 1989 I've witnessed over 100,000 Ironman finishers. Paul's 1998 Ironman of raising his leg over his head after he finished is one of my top 10 Ironman memories of all time. Paul is a true Ironman not only at a finish line but in life."
—Mike Reilly, "The Voice of Ironman"

"Collectively, these true-life stories illuminate the actions of a man whose every challenge--whether overcome successfully or not--only seems to make him love life more. Fiercely energetic, humorous, well-written and wise, Drinking from My Leg is excellent reading—for both athletes and those who are not."
—Joan Schweighardt is the author of Gudrun's Tapestry and other novels
