Authors Point
Laura Hillenbrand was able to capture real events and connect it to her life. Many of these people were forced to start from the bottom just like she was , but they still had their talent. My viewpoint of her trying to tell the story is even though the road may really be a tough one. Don't ever let go of things you love doing and the skills you have. She was strong and didn't let anything get in her way, including her disease.
