This inspiring memoir begins in 2005 with a confirmation diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. The author's life is traced forward to her life-saving transplant on 10-10-10. While her disease progression is the thrust of the tale, the significant role of family anf friends, the author's emerging spirituality and accompanying raw emotions are woven throughout. This story of hope, faith, trust, determination, and finally unending gratitude, is also inspirational to anyone facing a challenge to their health and quality of life.
