Sorry, Not Dead Yet!: A Tapestry of Inspiration

Sorry, Not Dead Yet! tells the empowering story of Sven Paardekooper, a young immigrant living in Los Angeles. Seemingly well on his way to the pursuit of his own happiness, he gets stopped dead in his tracks with a devastating diagnosis. What follows is the chronicled loss of his identity, place in life and self worth. We read as his life falls into despair, drug addiction and abandonment. We join him as he starts to rebuild himself, understand his lessons and rejoice as he conquers his demons and defies the odds. Written in the form of editorials, Sven is blatantly honest as he takes the reader through the good, the bad, the funny and ugly parts of life. An inspiration for anyone facing hardship or demons in their lives, his story is that of all of us: how to become the best person we can be.
