In this book, United States Army Staff Sergeant Mills introduces the twelve principles that helped him through tough times—and allowed him to continue to be a dedicated family man, husband and father to two amazing children. Anyone can use these principles to change their life, since everyone experiences life changing events and potential trauma, whether it’s dealing with the repercussions of an act of violence or abuse, economic struggles, divorce, or a serious illness. Mills's message—that we cannot control what happens to us in life, and we can only focus on how we react and move forward—will inspire survivors from all walks of life.
