Mark Medley "Live to See the Day: Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be"

from Chatter on Books

"In the DNA."   Chatter rolls through snowmageddon with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie.  Nancy Baenen of Arcadia Books returns to nominate their first author for "The Pitch", James DeVita and his book "Sanctuary," post-apocalyptic yet scarily current.  Then Mark Medley zooms in to share "Live to See the Day," his empathetic search to answer the question: what keeps people going against insurmountable odds?  Over five years, multiple continents, and hundreds of interviews Mark finds the true meaning of hope against the odds.  It's fun, inspirational, and we want to take all of Mark's people to dinner!
