I have written this book to share my story and help others see that

they are not alone in their struggles. I want to offer hope that change

is possible, and to help others find the strength to face their own

struggles.

Everyone has a story, and most are worth sharing, but not with any known intention for gain or fame.

My only intention is that by sharing my journey, you will see that I am just like everyone else

in the sense of having faced challenges. It is how we choose to deal

with life that sets us apart. In most cases, the things that set people

apart are their gifts and talents that they can offer others.
