To Live in the Present, Sometimes You Have to Let Go of the Past Carol McKibben paints the picture of a woman who has always allowed herself to be a victim, blaming others for her circumstances, until one near-fatal night gives her the strength to take control of her own life. She shares this story in the hope that other women will see how they, too, can change their lives for the better. Filled with vivid portrayals of friends and family members, including a villain of a husband whom you will be rooting against, Riding Through It is a candid story of redemption and finding the courage to change your destiny.
