This book is the author's attempt to capture the significant points in his life. The early portion of his life was happy and seemed to foretell a successful adulthood, but little did he know that his adult years would involve such adversity and pain. In many ways, Bo was like all people. He really only wanted to live a life that was smooth and meaningful. But he was to learn that for most of us, achieving success in life meant undergoing a lot of pain and suffering. What matters is whether you can weather the storm and survive the adversity.
