Laura H, Reviewer
I found this book a highly fascinating read, with ten different stories of people who have faced hardship and seemingly insurmountable odds, such as the young boy who suffered almost 100% burns, and the child born without arms or legs. In all of these cases, the individual has gone on to achieve great things, many of them in motivational speaking. These stories are highly inspiring and show just how resilient the human body and mind is, and how much can be overcome.
With ten individual stories, it's easy to read this book a story (or chapter) at a time, however I rushed through this in just one evening, as I found it fascinating! The only thing I didn't like about these stories was the focus on religion and God - as an atheist this was a slight negative for me, as it's difficult to relate to the stories when there is such focus on the idea of these people being helped and supported on their journey by a God. Other than that, I highly recommend this book!
