Don't Stop Dancing: My Story of Tragedy, Loss, Addiction, and Darkness, and the Discovery That Healed My Soul.

by Eric M. Anderson

At the age of twenty-one, Eric Anderson has everything--athleticism, exuberance, good looks, loving friends and family members. One evening, a simple lapse in judgment and a tragic accident turn his world completely upside down. His body, once a vessel for limitless opportunity, is reduced to an inescapable prison as he adjusts to his new life with a major disability.Deeply depressed and unprepared mentally to grasp the physical and emotional trials he faces, Eric turns to drugs, alcohol, and excessive partying. Over the next decade, Eric's life spirals out of control, as he attempts to assimilate back into a world perpetually haunted by memories of a perfect life he can't let go of.Overcome with grief, sorrow, and hopelessness, Eric decides that suicide is his only remaining option. When he clicks on a random internet link, however, he finds the light at the end of the tunnel that has seemed elusive for so many years since his accident.Don't Stop My Story of Tragedy, Loss, Addiction, and Darkness, and the Discovery That Healed My Soul, will take readers of every age and demographic on a heart-wrenching, emotional rollercoaster of a ride as Eric's mind, body, and spirit are completely transformed, thanks to the music he immerses himself in.Whether you're looking for a truly compelling story or inspiration to live every moment to its fullest, Eric's comeback will show readers why we should never take anything for granted, and will remind us of the unlimited potential that exists within us all.
