Ten people you''ve never met are about to change your life. I know this because they changed mine, in spite of my best efforts to remain unchanged. For a long time, I resisted the idea of writing this book. In the end, though, I realized that I couldn''t keep these people, or the gifts they had given, to myself. One page at a time, I will unpack the bittersweet beauty of their stories for you. I''ll share a little bit of my story too. But the soundtrack to all of this will be your story, and that will make your reading of this book unique.
