ANCHORED TO HOPE: Reframing Life With a Terminal Diagnosis

by James L. Wright Jr.

When James Wright was diagnosed with ALS, his world shifted in an instant. But rather than surrender to fear, he chose to reshape the narrative. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is a candid and powerful account of what it means to live with purpose in the face of uncertainty. With heartfelt honesty, James explores the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of navigating a life-changing diagnosis. He shares how faith became a steady anchor, how language redefined his identity, and how daily affirmations and scripture offered strength on the hardest days. He opens a window into the everyday adaptations that allow him to maintain independence, the value of alternative therapies, and the essential role of community and family. Through it all, James challenges readers to see possibilities where others see limitations. His story is not one of surrender, but of resolve. It’s about finding peace in the unknown, building a legacy through entrepreneurship, building a resolve through faith and choosing joy— again and again. Whether you are facing illness yourself, supporting a loved one, or searching for a deeper understanding of resilience, this book offers a rare and uplifting perspective. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is more than a memoir. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of struggle, life remains full of meaning, beauty, and hope.
