Fish Out of Water - by Jeffrey S McLain (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This memoir tells the story of a man who didn't let severe dyslexia stop him from achieving his dream of becoming a marine biologist. From a young age, he struggled with reading and schoolwork, which made him feel unsure of himself. Despite these challenges, he found joy and comfort in exploring nature and learning about fish.

He worked hard in school, eventually graduating high school and earning a college and master's degree in marine biology. Over 30 years, he built a successful career as a fish biologist. The book shares how his determination and love for nature helped him overcome obstacles and find his true purpose.

While the story touches on his faith and how it helped him, it doesn't focus heavily on this aspect. Instead, it emphasizes his journey to follow his passion and succeed against the odds. This story is perfect for anyone interested in nature, science, or stories about overcoming difficulties to find what you love doing.
