"The Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock opens tomorrow and already has Oscar buzz around it.  You probably knew that, but did you know this story is based on the Tuohy family?  A real Memphis family that took in a homeless teenager they found on the streets? 

I read the book about a year ago.  It is an incredibly moving and inspiring story.  I'm not sure how close to the real story the movie is (the previews look like they have added a bit of Hollywood drama), but the book is amazing.  I would highly recommend it to all.

Read more about the Tuohys here.

Seen the movie or read the book?  Let me know what you think.
