A cancer survivor chronicles ride through the ups and downs of dealing with his prostate cancer diagnosis and how he relied on family, friends, faith-and his bicycle-to see him through to become a survivor.

Within the opening pages of her first book, Becky Olson catapults the reader into a world that overcomes humanity’s greatest fears and desires. She makes us all realize that the world we live in is not about surviving — but about living. With tasteful wit and luminous insight, Olson weaves an intelligent, poignant and spellbinding story. Through her eyes and experiences, she helps us to remember the most important things in life: faith, love, family, courage and most of all — hope. From Part One: The Hat That Saved My Life; Part Two: Inspirations For You, The Survivor; and Part Three: Help For You, The Friend, Olson journeys through the gauntlet of friendship and loneliness, valor and self-doubt, laughter and disappointment, sickness and healing. Her meditative observations are bound to encourage readers for generations to come. Inspiring from the first few sentences, Olson’s melodic story hammers an emotional key that cannot fail to strike a chord within all of us.
