"""We've all read stories of individuals overcoming life's challenges, but none has affected me more, or had a greater impact on my own life, than that of Meredith McNerney's. Her incredibly compelling, life-and-death story is a gripping testimony to the power of prayer, faith, family, and perseverance against the odds. No matter the situation you're facing in your own life, this book will encourage and inspire you to push through to the victory that's waiting for you on the other side of your current struggles.
