A Fighting Chance: How to Rise Against Severe Trauma is a memoir describing Shannon's journey of survival. This is the survival story of a middle-aged woman shot in the back of the head and suffering a stroke, which led to unforeseen physical, mental, and legal issues while also dealing with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

You are invited to take a glimpse into Shannon's real-life trials and victories as she continues to fight, determined to never give up. This is a journey of strength, inspiration, and faith from a middle-aged professional woman who learned how to use several coping strategies to rise again and fight for a new life after severe brain trauma.

Regrouping and fighting after any type of severe trauma in life is a journey with many twists and turns. You may have a few roadblocks in life, but if you stumble or get knocked down, don't quit and never lose hope. Therefore, never give up, because you still have a fighting chance.

This book was written to encourage and inspire anyone who has experienced any type of trauma, which can include, but is not limited to a mental, physical, or emotional ordeal, or anything that has profoundly affected your life-changed your way of thinking and negatively impacted your life. As you journey with me through my story, take a moment to reflect on the questions provided at the end of each chapter. Within this book, I hope you find a spark of inspiration that will light up your life and set you on fire with flames of encouragement to keep fighting and never give up.
