Unfortunately we don't get the Montel Williams show here in Calgary or I would watch. I read Allen Rucker's book. Borrowed it from the library. It was an interesting book. I would encourage others to read it. Not sure if it was a great book or not but it does talk about the many ups and downs of TM.

Also, please let all your friends and family know that Montel Williams show will be aired, and that they need to watch the show. Allen Rucker, author of THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE, will appear on THE MONTEL WILLIAMS SHOW on Tuesday, June 12th to discuss his book. http://www.montelshow.com/show/today/tuesday/ "Who owns the definition of you?" is one of Montel's signature questions to people that feel hopeless in their lives. The answer is simple: No one owns the definition of you but you. Despite one's circumstance, people can turn an adverse situation into a success. Rhonda and Stephanie are conjoined twins who are 29 years old. They were connected at their backsides and separated as infants. Over the years, Rhonda and Stephanie have undergone over 20 surgeries combined, but they have never allowed their physical challenges to discourage them.

He eventually became paralyzed for life by a rare condition called Transverse Myelitis. After a period of depression Allen says he began to regain control of his life and started writing. He is now a New York Times best-selling author! Lesley is a 17-year-old girl who was born HIV positive.
