Face Everything and Rise

Book excerpt: DanThy Nguyen’s journey of change started twenty-two years ago. The catalyst was a near-fatal car accident. She remained in intensive care for six weeks, and medical personnel gave her little hope of survival. DanThy pulled through, but she did not come out unscathed. Alongside the physical reminders of the crash, she suffered an emotional toll. In Face Everything and Rise, she tells the story of her journey of change and transformation. This memoir offers a collection of the things she has learned throughout her life based on the observations of the important people in her world. She applies these elements to the concept of Face Everything and Rise (FEAR). Face Everything and Rise shares the details of DanThy’s experiences as a catalyst to help others navigate their own journey, to push aside the fear and make changes that lead to a more fulfilled and peaceful life.
