A powerful true story of struggle, resilience, and the life-changing truth every dyslexic child and parent deserves to hear.

​

Wired to Rise is the unforgettable memoir of Dr. Adam Gauthier, a boy once written off by teachers, misunderstood by peers, and trapped in a school system unequipped to help him. Dyslexia isolated him, confused him, frustrated him, and made him feel broken long before he could even spell the word. Yet those early struggles would become the very foundation of his greatest strengths.

​

From a terrified elementary school student hiding his disability, to a young man battling through learning obstacles, military trauma, academic failure, and adulthood adversity, Adam’s story charts an extraordinary journey of determination and reinvention. Through every setback, he learned to rise—not despite dyslexia, but because of the resilience it forged within him.

This is not just a memoir. It is a message of hope.

​

Parents will see the unseen battles their children fight each day. Dyslexic readers will recognize themselves in the pages—and discover what is possible on the other side of self-doubt. Educators will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional and cognitive realities dyslexic students face.

​

Most importantly, Wired to Rise serves as undeniable proof that a child who is struggling today is not a child without a future.

​
