This beautiful story is of a remarkable & brave lady, the author, who lived quite a difficult life fighting a medical condition that changed the course of her life. Some may know her as the lady with Cotton in her ear, and while they might or might not have known her story, they certainly did not know about the intensity of her battle with Cholesteatoma from what seems to her like a lifetime ago. At age 19, as of writing her book, she recalls her medical and emotional experiences while having to live them one last time, for one reason and one reason alone: She wanted to help others who go through the same conditions and feel misunderstood. The ones who are diagnosed with something serious and think that somehow, it is all over. They feel alone. Makayla Barrios vows to be the voice that makes a difference for such people, to give them hope, and inspire them to look forward positively, as she is a living example of someone who spent a precious decade of her young life raging war against her medical condition, until eventually defeating it and becoming stronger than she could ever be. This book takes you on an emotional ride where the reader can learn a lot about life, it's unpredictable nature, how to cope with the difficulties that it brings forth, but most importantly, how to keep going forward.
