Resilience is a trendy skill, but learning about it is very important. Going for Hope reveals the real power of human resilience. Dwelling on challenging situations and overcoming them is what Ann expresses in these pages. I appreciate how she inspires and empowers the reader to have hope. She does this by also inviting the reader to flourish and cultivate a resilient mindset.
What I liked the most is that she provides practical advice to persevere when facing adversity. What caught my attention is that she recognizes it is a process, and to build that mindset requires us to develop habits and also work on nurturing a positive outlook when facing challenges. Overcoming hard situations and being resilient does not follow just one track, you will have to find the one that best suits you. This book is a great framework to empower yourself and understand that there is hope also in the hard and challenging moments.

Amazing guide!
If there's one thing I value in a book besides a good narrative, it's that it really has something to contribute to your life or teach you something, and this text certainly exceeded my expectations in everything I expect to find in a good read.
Ann, through this text, besides sharing her valuable experience and that of her son, kindly shares with us readers a guide to learn how to get through adversity by bringing out the best in us and filling us with courage and perseverance no matter what.
I personally believe that the book marked me because I have learned to be more resilient and to face the difficulties of life understanding that the important thing is in the challenge of staying present and not being overwhelmed by the future.
I highly recommend you to read this book!

This book made a difference, personally and professionally! As a father of a child who's been going through cancer treatment for 4+ years, the book provided proven and practical insight in how to deal with and handle all of the emotions and strains that come along with the traumatic journey.
Having applied her lessons in my personal life, I knew "Going For Hope" would be impactful in my profession too. I'm the President of a non-profit organization, '"The InVINCEable Foundation". Our mission: To ease the burden,
instill hope and nudge families forward amidst the challenge of a lifetime: pediatric cancer. After reading Ann's book, I immediately bought 30 copies! It's a perfect addition to our welcome package that we send to the families that we serve. Thank you Ann! Your impactful book will be transformational for the families that are coping with pediatric cancer.
