Description:
Sometimes life offers us chances to change our direction. These opportunities
can be obvious, but many times they come as a surprise and, if we're not paying
close attention, we can miss the door leading to change. All of the authors in
this inspiring collection took advantage of the hand they were dealt-a chance to
triumph, make a comeback, or, in some cases, simply survive. Barbara Summers has
selected an intriguing collection of autobiographical essays and edited them
into a thought-provoking anthology that teaches us how to recognize the right
door, open it, and find the strength to walk through it.
