[Free Giveaway] [Paperback] [Memoir] When Hope Is Your Only Option — Jim Stavis — 20 Copies, Ends Sept 28 > Likes and Comments

A Cedars-Sinai surgical team told me my triple-organ transplant had never been done. My answer: "I'll be the first." When Hope Is Your Only Option traces that story plus decades of building two companies, a 20-year relationship with my donor's family, and — new in this revised edition — caring for my late wife Renee through her final illness.

Years ago, lying in a hospital bed waiting for a heart that might never come, a social worker asked me a question that changed my life: “What is your source of hope?”

I didn’t have an answer that day. When Hope Is Your Only Option is the story of how I found one.

For a limited time, the Kindle edition is $0.99, or free with Kindle Unlimited.

Inside, I share:

Decades of living with type 1 diabetes, and the night my body finally gave out
Receiving a heart, kidney and pancreas, and meeting the family of the 16-year-old boy whose gift saved my life
Losing my business partner, and later my wife, and learning to keep going when grief felt heavier than any surgery

This isn’t really a book about illness. It’s about what to do when life hands you something you didn’t choose. If you’re facing a diagnosis, caring for someone you love, grieving, or just worn down, I hope you’ll come away with what I learned the hard way: hope isn’t a feeling you wait for. It’s an action you take.

If you’ve already read it, thank you. If it meant something to you, please share it with someone who needs it.

With gratitude,
Jim
