I had to review a book for a reflection paper and happen to hit on this book, I won the lottery it turned out to be an excellent book on how a person can overcome adversity. Thanks for getting the book to me promptly.

I met Eugene briefly at a book signing in Safety Harbor. He seemed such a quiet, unassuming man. Later, after reading his story, I found it hard to believe he had been through so many terrible and mind-numbing experiences. That he spent so many years as a drug addict, a thief and an alcoholic and then turned his life completely around is what makes this book co compelling to read.

Susan Adger does a marvelous job of getting into Eugene's mind. The reader never feels any sense of author intrusion; the book reads as if Eugene himself wrote it, as if he is speaking directly to you, the reader. You'll find that, once you start reading this book, you simply won't be able to put it down. I shared Eugene's addiction as I read...just one more page, just one more chapter.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who thinks they've had a tough time in life or hasn't gotten the breaks they deserved. Eugene's story will make you feel lucky and give you an entirely new perspective on what hard luck really is.

A great book!

This book is the most profound book I have read, it isn't a book about the Vietnam War, Drugs, or even recovery. It is a book about believing and hope. It is a book about being something and doing what is right in life. Helping others and hope. This book will forever change your views on humanity and veterans and what they go through.
MUST READ!!

This is a fabulous book! I couldn't put it down. Eugene Hairston's life could be a Hollywood movie; it's amazing that one person can live through that much in one lifetime. It's a total inspiration that life can turn around when everything seems totally lost.

This is a moving story of a life almost lost and the benefits of finding it again. Incredibly inspirational - you will laugh and cry and find faith again that people are good at heart"T

This is an outstanding story of one man's struggle with life and it's issues. To read this book, and know that someone could come through all of it, and turn it around to live a life filled with joy, fulfillment and dignity is inspirational and amazing. After reading this book, I have given it to friends, and family. Highly recommend this outstanding read!

This book isn't only for those that have PTSD or suffer with addiction. It is for anyone whose world is limited by what they tell themselves. In this book I witnessed hope, then faith and because of that, incredible success. What an amazing story!

If YOU think you are in an impossible situation and you can't go on, OH YES YOU CAN. Just read this.

What an inspiration this man is!

The hope that this book provides for anyone struggling in life is phenomenal. It is written with such openness and clarity that I felt I was on the journey with him. It is truly a testament to the power of determination and faith. I applaud the author for his courage and humility!

EXCELLENT!!! I could not put this book down from beginning to end. It is proof that it is never too late to make a change in one's life, once a person sets their mind to it and doesn't give in or give up.

This book should be on the New York's Best Seller's list.

Once you read this you will never forget it.

I am ready to order more for family members.
