For lovers of intelligent, nonfictional, dramatic, but inspiring stories. These are encouraging stories about real people and actual events. Excellent reading for anyone going through rough times when dealing with disability, the loss of loved ones, a traumatic experience, or any other misfortune. This book is not about people who were born poor and then became rich. This book consists of true stories about extraordinary human beings, who despite, rather because of, the terrible ordeals that life has thrown at them, achieved personal successes and became healers, educators, advocates for the abused, inspirational speakers, motivational symbols of survival, and achievers of sacred dreams. These tales will encourage people who are dealing with challenges that the ruthless twists of fate present to them. This book will be the most helpful for people who are wandering in a labyrinth of despair, grief, uncertainty, and maybe even help those dreaming of being released from this life. While reading about these incredible earthlings, who found the strength, not only to overcome ordeals, but also to become influential examples for others, you will reconsider your perception of whatever you are facing now. You will stop feeling helpless and lost because these stories will change your mind, clarify your soul and inspire you to stand up and cope. If these people can thrive after terrible traumas, why can't you? The influence of these stories can make a difference in the world by showing paths that our hearts can take. We can become advocates for human rights, stop the abuse of innocent animals, defend helpless children living in third world countries, prevent the destruction of our planet, and do many other things. Like a big river that originates from the merger of small creeks, we can be the little drops that help create a forceful stream of water blasting out of the way hatred and violence. EXCERPT FROM BOOK Hate is one of the most powerful emotion; its tenacious and vicious paws grab the bearer of it, depleting from their vitality and making the person cognitively impaired. I can't give this satisfaction to people who lost their human faces and void of simple moral principles. I forgave them, but I didn't forget, and justice must prevail. I said to myself again, I refuse to be a victim.
