NBC reports that former NFL star Michael Oher says he believed that he had been adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy as a teenager.

Oher, whose life inspired the Oscar-winning film 'The Blind Side,' was homeless when he first met the Tuohys.

.

Twenty years later, Oher accused the couple of misleading him into signing away his legal rights and forcing him into a conservatorship.

According to Oher, the Tuohys tricked him under the guise that his cooperation would legally make him a member of their family.

NBC reports that a conservatorship is a legal arrangement that places a third party in charge of a person's ability to make decisions for themselves.

CNN reports that the book focuses on Oher's life before meeting the Tuohy family.

The things I went through and had to do to go through to that point I went through from 3-years-old to 18 when I moved in with the Tuohy family ā€” who Iā€™m grateful for letting me stay my senior year there ā€” but you have to understand... what it took for me to get to that point, Michael Oher, via Mississippi Public Broadcasting

In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. . While the company made a profit, the Moores claim that they received no dividends and that the money was reinvested in the business. As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between 2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later defined as income from their investment. . Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes. They later sought a refund for that payment, arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed based on an increase in the value of a capital investment not qualifying as income.
