This book has a little bit of everything in it. In most part, it is based on a true story that took the author nearly 9 years to write. Much of the subject matter deals with pain filled ordeals that evoke an emotional response from the reader. 'Journey of a Near Miss' is about a woman's life, with all of its ups and downs. An ironic twist of fate takes the book to it's conclusion, that brings about a new beginning full of hope for the author. Only 'real life' can contain everything in these pages!!
