Great book of stories of how chiropractic has helped many people when they felt there was nothing that could be done. As a current chiropractic student, I needed to read this, as finals are approaching, to inspire me to keep going and pushing forward. What I am going to do in my life WILL matter.

I really enjoyed this collection of stories. I even learned from this book. I did not realize how much chiropractors can help. They can even do treatments on animals.
