Chrysalis: A Memoir

While writing Chrysalis, my mind would, of course, return to the hospital room where I regained my life and freedom. As I strived to explain the experience, I noticed how it had changed me and set me on a better path to the rest of my life. This unusual experience, though difficult, improved how I react, and accept many good and not so wonderful things to come.

If I were to meet you and take your hand, if at that moment I could give this learning to you, how glad it would make me! I extend this hope to you in book form. My intent is to tell you to “never give up,” never to be so overcome that you stop. We all have moments. This gift I was given is to show you any pain is worth the promise of the life that awaits you tomorrow. It's free, it's within you...relax and accept. Move forward!
