Along the course of our lives, events occur that make us stop and think. Every now and then, one or more of these events can have such a profound effect on us, that they change our lives forever. Contained in this book is a collection of stories from people the author has known along the course of his life. These stories tell of life-changing experiences; personal events that have had a profound effect on the contributing authors, and in turn, an influence on Mr Fillayson himself. The author wishes to share these experiences, alongside his own, in the hope that they will help the reader to recognise, and benefit greatly from, the potential turning point in their own lives.
