She teaches us to accept, grow, and learn from what life throws at us." --Peter H. Thomas, Founder of Century 21 Canada and LifePilot; Chairman Emeritus, The Entrepreneur Organization

"This book took my breath away. Lynn is authentic, courageous, smart, and filled with heart. She is brave to bare her soul, knowing it will help people everywhere.

Resnik, CEO of DRA Collective and nonprofit leader

This book truly shows the beauty and strength of the human spirit." --Marcia Meyer, former CEOPetsMart, Founder & President, The Be Kind Project

That perseverance is the key to creating the life we want. A true page-turner." --Renie Cavallari, award-winning author of HeadTrash; Founder & CEO of Powered by Aspire, an award-winning leadership and innovation company; CEO of RCI Institute
