Colleen Kelly Alexander‘s book Gratitude in Motion released this week by Center Street a division of Hachette Book Group.

Gratitude in Motion is the true story of hope, determination and the everyday heroes around us. It was a beautiful fall day in Connecticut when Alexander, a life long athlete, rode her bike home from work. She had survived both a lupus diagnosis and brain surgery, had a fulfilling career, and was married at last to the love of her life. Everything was good as she coasted along, meeting the eyes of a truck driver as he approached the stop sign beside her. He didn’t stop.

Read her story, it will affect your view forever.
