Dr. Robin Hall's profound work is a must-read for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of illness or seeking inspiration in the face of life's challenges.

Jack Canfield, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul(R) series

"For anyone suffering illness or loss, this book is a game changer. In this deeply personal gathering of the journeys of patients and friends who are navigating health challenges, Dr. Robin reminds us that adversity can be a blessing if we but change our perspective. More importantly, she shows us how to actively turn our fear and grief into compassion, trailblazing activism, and joy. In the delicate balance of life, Dr. Robin Hall insists on expanding hope."

Marcia Gay Harden, Academy Award-winning actress/producer

As someone who has a personal connection with Dr. Hall, I know firsthand about her ability to inspire and deliver a sense of calm and confidence to people. In times of grieving, confusion, and sometimes desperation where caregivers can feel lost and alone, Dr. Hall has a most wonderful gift. She helps people see the way, feel connected, and find comfort in the chaos attached to health challenges and life-threatening illnesses. This book is a must-read. I wish I'd had it as a personal roadmap to peace as my mom - who idolized Dr. Hall on a personal and professional level - dealt with her own life-altering disease. She'll make you think. She'll make you cry. And she'll absolutely make you see a brighter light in times of darkness.
