Beginning with a near-fatal episode of uncontrolled respiratory bleeding, Heidi retraces the stories of the people and events which have shaped the optimism and joy characterizing her life. Life is challenging under the best of circumstances. But when people with chronic, debilitating and terminal disorders rise above their health issues to lead successful lives, we are often inspired and strengthened to face our own battles with renewed determination. In this book you will meet a true overcomer, a woman who faces the often dark realities of a terminal disease with a sense of candor and humor fortified by the certainties of faith, hope and love.
