Unbreakable

What happens when everything falls apart in a single year?A career-ending injury to the hands that built his livelihood. A devastating flood that swallowed his home-again. A car crash with his young son that could have ended in tragedy. A marriage that quietly dissolved. And finally, a blood clot that turned a soccer injury into a death sentence the universe seemed determined to deliver. Most people would break.
Most people would give up. But this isn't a story about breaking. It's a story about what comes after. In Unbreakable, a software engineer and devoted father chronicles the year that tested every limit he thought he had. When carpal tunnel made his hands shake so violently he couldn't type, when icy floodwaters rose to his waist as fever ravaged his body, when the radio kept playing cheerfully through the chaos of metal crushing metal-he discovered that being unbreakable doesn't mean you never break.
It means you learn how to put yourself back together. Stronger than before. From the examination room where doctors delivered the news about a silent killer hiding in his leg, to the moment he fell in love again when he'd given up hope, to the soccer field where he plays every week on an ankle that was supposed to end his athletic life forever-this is a raw, honest account of resilience in its truest form.

It was going to have to try harder."
