If you're a sports fan, you've probably seen The Blind Side—the story of Carolina Panthers left tackle Michael Oher's journey through young adulthood with the help of his adoptive family, the Tuohys.

The incredible tale of generosity and strength is so moving that often it's easy to forget it's legit.
