Description
Book Synopsis: It’s just a book, right? To some, this is true. But what if an author’s work has made a tangible difference in a reader’s life? Steve Stred came from humble beginnings, born and raised in Burton, BC, Canada – population approx. 75. Through the years, he’s battled depression and the fight between his small-town boy fear of the larger world and his inner self desperately wanting more; to see more, do more, experience more. Over his life, Steve’s sought out challenges – being the first in his family to graduate from university. Pursuing weight-lifting, shotput, and bobsled, all with the ultimate goal to make it to the Olympic Games.
But how does one pick themselves up when failure continuously rears its ugly head? A chance purchase in 2014 changed everything and set in motion a relationship between the books of his favorite author and key moments within his own life.
