You cannot control what happens to you ...
but you can control what you do about what happens to you.
Against All Odds is a story of courage and the love of family and friends and of fear and faith. But most of all, it is a story about the invincible human spirit that lives in all of us. For Carol Ann Wilson, it pulsated and thrived.
Arriving for her annual checkup and revealing her age as 85 to the physician's assistant, the woman was aghast. What is your secret? she asked.
Carol Ann thought about that after she left and realized that she had heard that question for years.
What is your secret, Carol Ann?
At the age of 29 with three kids under the age of five-a usually talked about behind closed doors if talked about at all-surgery turned her life upside down. That surgery opened a door, welcoming her to an incredibly fulfilling life.
Meet Carol Ann Wilson, as she dealt with:
- life-threatening chronic illnesses ...
- surviving cancer ...
- having her business stolen from her ... not once, but twice!
- having books she authored plagiarized and republished with another's name as the author ...
- dealing with the unexpected sudden death of her husband while she was cruising in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and he was home ... alone.
And much more-none of it ... none of them, kept her down. She beat the odds, surviving ... then thriving. And was part of the creation of an international health information organization; institutes for financial professional; software that impacted and changed family law nationwide; and even designing a pottery line!
Throughout her nine decades, she has never, ever given up.
Carol Ann is still here, living her hand of life ... and is ready to reveal her secret: Believing that when difficulties and trauma are experienced, that good things can come.
If you are looking for encouragement, Against All Odds is just the book for you.
