Since then, despite the unimaginably painful experiences she endured, she has chosen to share her experience with others, in the hope that they, too, can find light in dark moments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoosing Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a lot of things. A written witness to a tragedy that will never be forgotten. A gripping firsthand testament to the power of good over the power of destruction. An inspirational memoir by a brave young woman whose story is one of courage, heroism, faith, and resilience. And a celebration of all the people who make the choice to pass along their hope and positivity to young ones--parents, mentors, and especially teachers. There is no moving on, but there is always moving forward. And how we move forward is a choice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e*Books for a Better Life Award Finalist*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425282311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Kaitlin Roig-Debellis, Robin Gaby Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766683959477,"sku":"9780425282311","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_29f628f3-c9cf-4bd3-b7cb-a629b3871eec.jpg?v=1710817273","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/choosing-hope-how-i-moved-forward-from-lifes-darkest-hour-9780425282311","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
