Adversity Road

About the Book

Adversity is a battle with misfortune or hardship which can come in many different forms. You could be dealing with self-doubt, poverty, physical disability, rejection, terminal illness, death of family and countless other obstacles that life may throw at us. The main message the author wants readers to take from this story is that all of us are walking the adversity road. The obstacles that we may encounter on our path are not always the same as others. If we adopt the mindset that we are all walking with adversity, it will help us develop a strong lens of empathy and compassion for the people around us. You may end up being the light for another person, giving them strength to persevere through their adversity. We are all struggling with something, so let us come together to love and support each other as we walk the adversity road.
