Meet Danny Foster as he meanders through life, actually through nine lives! Danny takes you on his journey as he shares stories of his near-death, nearly near-death, and almost nearly near-death experiences. You laugh, maybe cry, mostly laugh (okay- some crying) at these nine stories of coming of age and coming to grips with the fragility of life.
You'll walk with Danny as he is almost abducted, electrocuted, held captive by an army in a foreign country, in a high-speed chase, risks a head-on collision, needs numerous life-saving operations, and is slammed to the ground over and over by an Olympic wrestling medalist.
Along the way, you'll delve into how time-travel, Buster Brown shoes, Rollie Fingers, fruit kabobs, Killer Kowalski, good-looking doctors, being husky, Little League, South Africa, nicknames, bingo, the metric system, the 5-Finger Spider Death Grip, New Age music, grade school playgrounds, making beds, beer, mailboxes, driving in England, swimming nude, Stonehenge, and government plots all play a role in Danny's adventures.
Danny helps unlock the secrets to staying one step ahead of the Grim Reaper, staying out of the path of the Pale Rider, and what to do when Death comes knocking at your door (hint: pretend you're not at home). Each humorous anecdote explores how to face our deepest fears and realize that our focus in life may not be about how we might die- but how we might live!
Danny shares his heart-warming stories of lessons lived and lessons learned. In the end, he sees triumph and hope in every circumstance. Ultimately, realizing that life is fragile, and life is a gift!
This is the perfect book for those that enjoy real-life stories of life's challenges, facing our fears, and insights on living our potential each day. Its lighthearted approach is a perfect way to delve into issues of our own mortality and how to live life to the fullest. It's a humorous, uplifting, and joyous celebration of living in each moment and recognizing the beauty of life!
