“I met Sylvia Hatchell in 1994 when I was working at ESPN and her Tar Heels won the NCAA national championship. When I interviewed her I could tell that she was a woman who had an incredible perspective on life. We’ve been good friends ever since. I called her often during her fight with leukemia and always hung up the phone feeling the same way I had when we first met more than a decade before. Inspired. Thank you and bless you, Sylvia, for transparently sharing your story and empowering others to overcome whatever challenges they may be facing.”
-Robin Roberts, Good Morning America 
 
“Sylvia met the challenge head on, determined to win. She exercised every day in the hospital. When people called, she turned the conversation toward raising money to find a cure. When she heard of others in the same fight, she encouraged them. With this book, she continues to do that today. Thanks, Sylvia, for your words of encouragement and for once again leading the fight.”
-Roy Williams, University of North Carolina men’s basketball coach
 
“I started reading this book and couldn’t put it down until I was finished. It humbled me. Convicted me. Encouraged me. Uplifted me. Instructed me. It also opened my eyes in a fresh way to the depth of Sylvia’s character.”
-Anne Graham Lotz, author, minister, and daughter of evangelist Billy Graham
