Ward Foley was born with multiple birth defects and very little chance to live. But he did, only to undergo decades of surgery, agonizing rehabilitation, ridicule, and humiliation. He was also severely burned in a deep fryer, beat up, and almost killed by a drunk driver. It turns out that each “scar” in his life would bring him one step closer to the people and experiences that would give him what he wanted most. After the death of a close friend, Ward found himself entering the world of hospice care and a circle of people who had more to teach him than he ever imagined. You can be in the wrong place at the wrong time  a lot. In fact, your whole life can seem like one, big, wrong turn. But often that’s exactly what it takes to get you to the one place you want most. Lively and warm-hearted, full of dry humor and unexpected twists, Ward offers us an exuberant look at what we all ultimately want from life and the story we've been handed.
