Publisher's Synopsis
What hurts worse: physical pain... or... mental anguish? It's been almost 100 years since the Herman's escaped communist rule, and reached their dream of starting a new life in America. The pains and anguish encountered along their varying paths of life are numerous, almost unfairly so. Experience their day to day, and year by year, personal challenges - both physically and mentally - but also the rewards they earn, as they live their motto of: Never Give In! As Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), and cancer, steals away minutes, memories, and lives, from each generation... each generation of survivors also brings a strengthened resolve to fight against these insidious opponents. As the author likes to say, "We know what it's like to be naked in the middle of a tornado and all this stuff flying at us, with nothing to hold onto but each other." These people, and especially Rob, know what it's like to feel extremely vulnerable (like being naked), being hit by all sorts of physical and mental torments, while fighting to hold on and stay together as a family. Inside you will live through Rob's personal tornado as he and his family overcome challenge after challenge, all while becoming the top sales person in his field. If you don't believe in miracles, and Guardian Angels, after reading this incredibly true story, I don't know what would convince you. So enjoy! And The Herman family would like to ask you to PLEASE BE AN ORGAN DONOR. A deceased donor hero saved Rob's life. You can also be a hero and save someone's life. Just go to www.organdonor.gov to register. Don't forget to encourage your family and friends. Thank YOU!
