I've got a chip on my shoulder, and I most definitely have something I want to prove. When life throws turmoil and devastation your way, it's easy to feel defeated and wonder, "Why is this happening to me?" You might ask, "Is there a target on my back?" or even, "Am I cursed?" This book is for anyone who has ever felt confused and devastated by the challenges they've faced.

It's hard to find positivity in negative situations, but sometimes, knowing that others have walked a similar path can provide the encouragement you need. Imagine finding out you're pregnant with your fifth child at 41, only to be diagnosed with lupus.

The joy of expecting a new life is overshadowed by a diagnosis that threatens both your life and your child's. What do you do when life tries to rob you of your joy? My mother faced this exact battle, and her decision to fight for both our lives revealed a strength and tenacity that I strive to embody every day.

This book explores the notion that the struggles we face, the "chips on our shoulders," can reveal our true strength and potential. It's about understanding that sometimes, our greatest pains can bring us the greatest joys.

I want to encourage you to see that even when life seems impossible, there is a purpose and a strength within you that can carry you through. Discover how my mother's unwavering determination not only saved my life but also proved that what seems impossible can be achieved.

Learn how to face your storms, embrace the chip on your shoulder, and emerge victorious. Sometimes, the very thing meant to break us is the gift that shows us just how strong we truly are.
