Suddenly, before reaching the exit ramp, Carl is pursued, confronted, and shot twice by a would-be robber. Eleven years later, Carl is still affected by this terrifying moment. Now in this riveting personal testimony, he describes how he came to terms with the resulting trauma. The nightmare of the attack provides him with the motivation and inspiration to write in detail about his frustrations, his multiple therapies, his failures, and his victories. In the end, readers learn about his pain and discipline-and his personal power leading to a more adjusted and rewarding life. 'This is my story of my pain and recovery,' he tells us.

And you can live to write about it.'.…
