like your normal read. It has a raw truthfulness to it that I
adore. Author - Cheryl Renee Seagraves Rene Schultz tells this
heart-warming story with depth and understanding, interwoven with

"If you died tomorrow... what would be your legacy?" Death does not
begin with the loss of the ability to breath, or the last beat of
your heart. Cissy learns this as she takes us on an inspiring and
eye-opening journey filled with love, friendship, laughter... and
hope. This book is about the value of every moment of your life and
fighting a good fight. Cissy is your typical hard working, single
mother, who leads a very simple life. Until one day, when a cancer
diagnosis has her spinning in circles. Not one to sit around and do
nothing, and with years of experience in the medical field, she
decides to research new medications and clinical studies on the
Internet. Then all of a sudden, she hits a block wall. Why are the
pharmaceuticals holding back 'orphan' drugs that have the potential
to save thousands of lives? Why aren't they conducting clinical
studies on these medications? Why are the greedy insurance
companies refusing to pay for these medications to keep people
alive? Why is our government closing its 'blind eyes?' Cissy goes
on a quest to find these answers. What she discovers is shocking.
With an anger that leaves her cynical, and with time running out,
she sets out to 'right a wrong.' She does the unimaginable and is
selfless in her final acts on this earth. She forfeits her
integrity, and leaves a legacy that will crush the greedy
pharmaceuticals and the corrupt insurance companies In this new age
of technology... Hackers become a reality and a new Robin Hood
becomes our hero
