A shared admiration for the life and teachings of Dr. Viktor Frankl inspired this book collaboration. This book couldn't be more relevant during our time of racial unrest, excess hatred, an unsettled nation and misguided priorities. This book and its message will inspire all who read it to focus on the things they can control and focus on fulfilling a loving and meaningful life of service and kindness. It couldn't have happened without the help and support of family and friends. Andrea M. Ackerly is an Elementary School Counselor in rural New Hampshire.
