With her signature upbeat messaging, Arceneaux recounts her odyssey, from her cancer diagnosis at age ten and the yearlong treatment that inspired her goal of working with pediatric cancer patients, to living through her father&’s terminal cancer diagnosis, to getting her lifelong dream job at St. Jude Children&’s Research Hospital as a physician assistant. She was sure she&’d finally attained the life she wanted, and then the amazing and unimaginable happened: She was invited to go to space as a St. Jude ambassador.Throughout the book, Arceneaux encourages readers to fight for the life they want, saying, You have to hold on, because you don&’t know what great thing can come and change your life. Take the chance and you will feel, and learn, and grow, and become even more you.

She offers wisdom and lessons in courage to anyone fighting against the odds. And through it all, she reveals how resilience and faith can help us grab hold of the life we&’ve always wanted and live it to the fullest.
