The Courage to Give
Author Jackie Waldman was living the “perfect” life—three healthy children, a loving husband, and her own thriving business. Then she discovered she had multiple sclerosis, and her world changed overnight.
Tears, anger, and frustration took over, until one day “every piece of my life became crystal clear. I knew without a doubt exactly who I was—not a person with a disease and weak legs, but a person who has a heart filled with love and wants to be of service. And my healing began.” A collection of heartrending and heartwarming stories of people, both famous and unknown, who have suffered great emotional or physical hardship and went beyond their pain to help others.
