"An  important piece for anyone dealing with a health crisis or disability.   Also helpful for friends and family to provide perspective and  understanding. Dan emphasizes the importance of taking nothing for  granted, and he does it with honesty and humor."

-Frederick B. Nelson,  Amazon.com (5 stars)

"An  honest account of one man’s journey from receiving a life-threatening  diagnosis, to the decision to have life-altering surgery, and the  difficult road to recovery. I laughed. I cried. I thoroughly enjoyed it." 

-Jon Inerfeld, Amazon.com (5 stars)

"Imagine  having your world blown up by one phone call from a doctor, thinking  there was something wrong with your back and it turns out, it's inside  your own head - literally! Bags packed, phone calls made, newlywed plans  broken and days that turn into weeks that turn into months with what  feels like almost NO progress. Just how strong do you have to be to go  through something like this? Or do you find the strength in getting  through it?" 

-Chandra Claypool, Goodreads.com (5 stars)

"As  a librarian, I looked at this book briefly, as I do with all of our new  titles. However, it immediately drew me in so I ended up reading the  entire story. It’s quite a saga, and the honesty and detail of the  narrative make it a fascinating and invaluable read. It’s also just  really well written."

-Cynthia, Goodreads.com (5 stars)
