One cold December night, Teena Cahill’s life changed abruptly when her beloved husband, Brooks, suffered a devastating stroke. In the emergency room of a local hospital, she listened as doctors told her that Brooks’ life could not be saved. At that moment, she took fate into her own hands. “I’m going to plan on him living,” she decided. This is the story of how she and Brooks made that outcome a reality. In the process they encountered moments of pure panic, such as when an addled Brooks takes off in his pickup truck to visit his brother in Arizona, and pathos, as when Brooks, a commercial pilot, realizes he can no longer fly. But there is always love, respect, hope and true grit. An astounding, uplifting and thoroughly gripping true story of determination, courage and growth.
