Ever quit your job without having another one lined up? Ever been out looking for work during the Great Recession? Ever felt lost, or lose someone close to you? Ever endured chronic pain at some point in your life? These are the topics that I discuss in my life story. It's a tale of loss, love, hope, failure, success, redemption, and perseverance through these tough economic times. I have chosen to finally open up and disclose private, as well as personal, moments in my life within this memoir.
