Five Years to Live

By: Frank Zaccari

Narrated by: Christopher DoQui

It is the phone call every person lives in fear of receiving. There has been an accident and your loved one is paralyzed. A spinal cord injury is the single most devastating and life altering event. Based on a true story, Michael and Donna were young, successful, in love and planning their life together. That life was radically changed by a tragic car accident. Now a wheelchair user as a quadriplegic, with limited movement, constant infections and multiple surgeries, doctors projected Michael's best case life expectancy to be five years. See how this young man battles through his injury and spends his five years making a lasting impact on hundreds of people. It will make you realize what can be accomplished when a person does not let circumstances dictate their life.

5 years to live

Wow, what an amazing story of Michael's life. It started off with such hope in what was to come for both Michael and Donna, then it took a turn with heartbreaking results and it was truly amazing to see how far he's come through his years. There were a couple parts that made me tear up a bit, but at the end of the day - I think we all could take some pointers from Michael on how to live and never give up.

More inspirational than any self help book!

I loved this book and how clearly it shows the struggles of dealing with a life altering event and a disability from various perspectives.

It also showed how important it is to be surrounded by family and people who care when you are facing adversity.

Michael’s tenacity and ability to remain positive through his life struggles was admirable.

Inspirational Story

Five Years to Live is a nicely written story about a young man with a very promising future. It also talks of a couple, so much in love but was forced by circumstances to go their separate ways.
The book also tells about the power of determination, perseverance and a solid support group.
It is inspirational in such a way that it makes you realize that no matter how hard and harsh you think life is, you can always turn things around and make it work in your favor.
Good story done with equally good narration.
