Book Synopsis
Life is good for Joyce and Kevin--traveling, having fun with friends, holding down a successful Wall Street career, building their dream home and planning a big family. Then, in a five-year period, Joyce's husband, Kevin, had a brain hemorrhage which left him paralyzed and then was diagnosed with stage 3B cancer, followed by Joyce being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2000. At 35 years old, they are devastated to learn there is little hope they will see their baby's next birthday.

Take an amazing and inspiring journey with this young couple who refuse to accept the grim diagnoses when their world comes crashing down around them. Instead, they choose to live. And together, miraculously, they beat all odds--Kevin is walking again and they both have been cancer free for over 19 years. Discover the keys for your own health and well-being. By healing the body from the inside out, you can live a life brimming with physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Awaken to a world that few even know exists--and where anything is possible.



Trade Review

"Often heartbreaking and frequently exhilarating--this remarkable story reminds each of us just what is possible in our own life. Having produced many stories for Diane Sawyer, Charlie Rose, and Charles Kuralt, I’ve--never encountered a story quite like this. Without exaggeration, this is one of the most moving and inspiring books I’ve ever read." --Tom Martin, President, Tom Martin Media, LLC

"It’s not a book, but a black hole that sucks you in, wreaks havoc with your emotions, and then lets you out on the other side satisfied, inspired, and in awe of the human potential." --Alex Lubarsky, CEO, Health Media Group, Inc.

"Her passion for life jumps off the pages, and even in her darkest hour, her sense of humor shines through!" --JJ Virgin PhD, CNS. Celebrity Wellness Expert, Author of "Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy", President of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals
