What if you went to the Post Office thinking you were picking up a package, but instead you received a box containing your brother’s cremation remains?

What if during the same year you were diagnosed with breast cancer, had to undergo a double mastectomy, while simultaneously having to transition your confused, incredibly resistant mother into an assisted living facility due to the progression of dementia? 

These three life-altering things happened to the author, Rosie Mankes. But, what if, instead of just sharing how her life crumbled, Rosie tells a story about the MAGIC OF BREAKING FREE, finding JOY after life’s unexpected curveballs, and reveals her secrets for transforming from despair and despondency to being able to help others? 

You will be inspired and smile as Rosie tells this true story of adversity and survival in a raw, honest, and emotionally relatable, yet sometimes laugh-out-loud way. Reading her book will help you to stop, pause and recognize special every-day moments in your life, so you too can find your joy and run with it!
