About the book:
Author Barbara J. Mack grew up in a loving home on a typical hard working family farm. Her life as she knew it suddenly changed at the age of 20 when a near tragic car accident changed her life forever.
Diagnosed with a seizure disorder when there was little information or support, caused her to lean even more on her tight knit family.
Just as her seizures were becoming manageable, a new wild card was added to her already challenging life when an unexpected pregnancy happened. Barb’s new role as a single mom led to more challenges. But once again the support of friends and family helped her navigate trying times.
Through her whimsical stories of family life and heartbreaking years’ worth of medical challenges, Barb’s story educates and inspires others to better cope with the hand they’ve been dealt.
