Book Description
Unfortunately, life is often unfair. It can be difficult to navigate our way through challenges, heartache, and obstacles, no matter what our age. Alex P. Hartwell, an educator and a marriage & family therapist, shares a collection of resilience stories from both children and adults from a variety of backgrounds and ages that reveal a candid glimpse into how each learned to look deep within for the strength to face and resolve difficulties. This included illness, separation from family, worries, bullying, peer pressure, and other everyday situations as well as traumatic events. As participants share their heartfelt and inspiring stories, others will discover that resilience starts with just one action that helps us to not just survive, but often thrive, through obstacles. Throughout the presentation, storytellers provide guidance, through their own examples of perseverance, for anyone facing difficulties, making hard decisions, or desiring to develop and display resilience. Voices of Resilience is a volume of real-life stories for all ages that illustrates how to utilize inner-strength and courage to resolve problems and move forward in life with a new purpose.
