Does life have to be long to be full? Most people coast through life. Routines evolve and ruts emerge. One day an unexpected turn jolts us awake. Questions challenge us and patterns disrupt us. And we're confronted with deeper issues like Finishing Well. But some people never experience that luxury. Rather, their lives are snatched from us before they even have time to coast. Dawn Pitchford was one of these people. In this gripping memoir you'll meet Dawn Pitchford and see how she was both a lamb and a lion. Optimism defined her attitudes and smiles graced her face. Although only a young lady, her maturity challenges us all to reconsider life. Dawn's legacy teaches us how it's possible to live with grace and purpose regardless of your age or your diagnosis. By experiencing her brave journey you'll discover courage when facing your own. It doesn't matter how you began or how many unexpected turns you've encountered. What counts most is Finishing Well. "For all who wonder if there really is any help for your pain, you'll find it here in the tracks of a triumphant fellow struggler"--Dr. Andy Wood "The honesty of heart, mind, and emotion rings unmistakably true ... I am moved."-John S. Riley.
