<p>I have written this book to share my story and help others see that</p><p>they are not alone in their struggles. I want to offer hope that change</p><p>is possible and to help others find the strength to face their own</p><p>struggles. </p><p>Everyone has a story and most are worth sharing but not with any known intention for gain or fame. </p><p>My only intention is that by sharing my journey you will see that I am just like everyone else</p><p>in the sense of having faced challenges. It is how we choose to deal</p><p>with life that sets us apart. In most cases the things that set people</p><p>apart are their gifts and talents that they can offer others.</p>
