Yannik McKie’s personal memoir is a story of confronting life’s most crushing blows, of standing on faith and conviction, and of learning to give God room to work His plan for your life in miraculous and wonderful ways.

In its June 1981 statement, “Avert,” an international AIDS charity states that, as of that date, “the first cases of what is now known as AIDS were reported in the USA”.* Until Yannik turned 13 years old, he certainly had no idea that both his mother and father would be snatched away in this tragic number. Yannik did not understand how to handle the tragedy of being one of America’s first double AIDS orphans, and after years of living his life, full of bitterness and anger with God, Yannik humbled himself to face a calling he never imagined. Yannik has dedicated his life to passing on the gift he found in the midst of adversity, helping others to overcome any circumstance life throws at them, no matter how tragic. Yannik’s extraordinary book tells how to turn your life’s greatest disappointments and heartbreaks into your life’s greatest opportunity and purpose.

A portion of the proceeds go to supporting children affected by AIDS.
