By doing so, Christensen opens an avenue to personal transformation that is accessible to anyone.
Sosa's extraordinary example, coupled with Christensen's inspiring discoveries will enable the reader to use life's challenges as a stepping stone for growth. This narrative calls out for the best in all of us - for authenticity, empathy, and compassion.
