Book Overview
Author Jackie Waldman was living the "perfect" life--three healthy children, a loving husband, and her own thriving business. Then she discovered she had multiple sclerosis, and her world changed overnight. Tears, anger, and frustration took over, until one day "every piece of my life became crystal clear. I knew without a doubt exactly who I was--not a person with a disease and weak legs, but a person who has a heart filled with love and wants to be of service. And my healing began." A collection of heartrending and heartwarming stories of people, both famous and unknown, who have suffered great emotional or physical hardship and went beyond their pain to help others.

What a wonderful book! It pushes all the right buttons, in all the right ways. What more could a reader who needs motivation ask for! These stories are phenomenal, and they deserve everyone's attention. If you have not read it, do so, and if you have think of someone you have not recommended it to, that you could. It's a message worth sending, and, as the book shows, no positive effort is ever wasted! I LOVE this book!
Truly inspirational!

Although I worked on this book with Jackie (I photographed many of the people who are profiled within), it is, of course difficult for me to be unbiased. But after meeting twenty of these exceptional people, it is hard to come away from this book untouched. They are truly an inspiration to us all, with Jackie at front of the class - leading the pack. I am thrilled to be associated with a book like this, a book that can motivate us all to get up and DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS!
Exceptionally moving book!

This book gives hope to those who are looking for examples of how other people deal with life's challenges. This book provided me insights to the "stories-behind-the stories" and will make you think about life differently after having read this book!
