This book is a true story about so many different things combined into one life-altering event. It is not anything I would have ever chosen nothing to do with any consequence of my actions. I've lived a clean life and kept myself healthy throughout the years. But when you hear the words that nobody would ever want to hear, it turns your life upside down, and you forget for that very moment who you are.

Really, it's about hope. Facing a larger than life battle and finding the strength to endure. It's about keeping a positive mind-set at work and at home, around friends and family members. It's about taking charge of your life. Having a positive attitude, knowing that you'll do whatever it takes to not only be there for your loved ones but to be there for yourself too, having a mind-set to keep moving forward to enjoy life. Putting one foot forth is the first step to make a change within yourself.
