"I wanted to be an open example of the
positive statistics that do exist throughout our nation. Our
society highlights the negative statistics when it should
delight in the positive ones. It says that if you were a victim
of sexual assault as a child, you are more likely to become
a sex offender; if you were raised by an alcoholic you are
more likely to become an alcoholic, et cetera. I write this
book standing for all of those who challenge themselves to
prove the least likely. We can be the majority.
It is not natural to fi ght for our freedom to thrive.
Unfortunately, the only way to thrive beyond survival is to
fi ght for it. Those of us who live out the positive statistics
hold up our fl ags of freedom knowing we fight intently and
daily for that privilege."
