More about the book

'Deborah James has captured the heart of the nation' - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. 'Brave, bright, beautiful' - Lorraine Kelly. 'Deborah's ability to find positivity in the darkest of places is an inspiration to us all' - Davina McCall. 'This book has shaken me awake. I gulped it down in one sitting, then sat and cried... [But] hope is a character on every single page' - Christie Watson. At 35, Deborah was blindsided by incurable bowel cancer, given less than an 8 percent chance of surviving five years. This diagnosis forced her to live in the moment, valuing each day as a gift. She reflects on how to shift from a negative mindset to one filled with rebellious hope, challenging the notion of 'why me?' to embrace 'why not me?' Through her journey, Deborah learned that our responses to challenges can either empower or destroy us. With the right mindset, we can face immense difficulties and discover strength and hope even in the darkest times. This book encourages readers to question their lives as if they had no tomorrow and to live fully today. By embracing positivity and cherishing each moment, it’s possible to find joy and purpose, regardless of circumstances.
