As the author of this book, I was so busy writing each of the stories, working on edits, publishing, marketing, etc., that I never had the time to sit and read it from start to finish until now. Not too shabby, if do say so myself! ;).
Before I became an author, I was a reader. I have always had a love of books from as far back as I can remember., but having the opportunity to write an impactful book is something altogether satisfying. I’m thankful to all who helped me to bring it to fruition, to those who helped save my life, and to those individuals who had the courage to share their stories by finding their Second Wind to keep going! You are my inspiration and people. Thank you also to everyone who purchases and shares this book in all its forms. You honor and humble me. Please know that your generosity and assistance in spreading the world will certainly save lives. Thank you!

So often, we hear the tragic stories of those who have lost their inner battles and succumbed to suicide. However, with Second Wind, Stories of Hope, we refreshingly hear the stories of 50 (now) famous people whose attempts were (thankfully) unsuccessful, and then overcame their challenges and excelled. With this book, the author uncovers and compiles inspirational tales of struggle and triumph, which should be a gift to anyone who is wrestling with their inner demons and questioning whether/how to go on. I mean, a glance at the who's who list of the 50 people profiled will leave you wondering how we never really heard these stories before. Very well written with each profile brief enough to capture and keep your attention, while helping lift the stigma associated with discussing mental health.
