This book discusses the events surrounding a near death experience involving a fifteen year-old boy and his struggle to survive after being struck by a hit-and-run driver. He makes us aware of the overwhelming fear and loneliness that surrounded him as be lay on the side of the road waiting to die. Fate stepped in and brought a stranger to his rescue who summoned the medical help he so desperately needed. From one hospital to another, he was confronted with doubts and depression. If not for the determination and faith of his mother, be might not have survived. He spent the next four years in a hospital dealing with his emotions and recovering from his wounds. Although he survived the accident, be had to face his destiny. Even with all the surgeries, therapies and treatments, he would never walk again. A normal life was gone in a flash.
