Testimonial

  • I just finished reading your book. When I bought it I wasn’t sure if it would be one of those books you buy and mean to read, but never do, or if I actually would read it. I started it last Thursday, and I honestly found it very compelling and easy to read. Good job and amazing story. I found it to be very “real”, obviously written from the heart.

  • A truly inspiring story that is full of only real, touching moments. As a rising senior in college, I have learned a lot from reading this book. While at a young age there are times I feel “invincible”, Kevin and Barry’s story taught me how precious life is and how to live it to the fullest.

    Crystal B
  • A tragic and inspiring story “That something very good will come from this” to all that read this book. To any parent that wants to reach out to their teenager and a lesson every teenager should know about. By the end, I promise you both a different look on life.
