The experience of writing this book, the life story of Tibor Frank, has had
a profound effect on both my career and my personal life. The basis for this
current book was a bestseller in Hungary, which later became a feature
documentary. This is an accomplishment in itself. However for me, even
more deeply rewarding is that Tibor's story changed my life by inspiring me
to do things that I previously would never have thought I could accom-
plish. It has motivated me to reach my true potential both personally and
professionally.
Armed only with his strength of will and the enduring support of his family,
Tibor was able to overcome serious threats to his health and a repressive
socialist regime to turn his life around. This is a story that inspires at once
tears and laughter, joy and despair.
I invite everyone to share in Tibor's incredible journey and read this
story.
