Our new book, One Door Closes: Overcoming Adversity By Following Your Dreams (Wyatt-Mackenzie Publishing) is now available from Amazon. Visit the One Door Opens tab on the homepage to be taken to the order page.

One Door Closes captures the inspirational, highly emotional stories of 16 individuals from all walks of life who have triumphed over seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve their goals. Through first-person accounts, these courageous survivors describe their personal approaches to living their lives with vision, courage, determination and passion. They share the wisdom they learned along the way–often the hard way–wisdom readers can use on their own journeys. Many are sharing their stories publicly for the first time.

Also included are 10 systematic self-assessment tools designed to guide readers to develop their own, personal blueprint for success.

Among the 16 people profiled are 7 entrepreneurs, a medical researcher, a United Methodist pastor, a young man who became a quadriplegic at age 17, a former Catholic nun who fought church hierarchy to establish a shelter for homeless women and children, and a Yale Medical School student who lost her femur to cancer at age 12.

Also profiled are Scherrie Payne of The Supremes, June Monteiro of The Toys, and Mary Wilson of The Supremes–who provides a special message of healing and hope that forms the Epilogue of the book.

We hope you enjoy reading One Door Closes as much as we enjoyed writing it.

Fulfill your dreams! Unlock your true potential! Be inspired!
