About the Book

Brennan Simkins was diagnosed with a rare subtype of leukemia on his 7th birthday. The next four years gave witness to one of the most improbable and exciting stories in this history of modern cancer. Unwilling to accept a hopelessly terminal diagnosis, his parents found the one researcher willing to design a new treatment protocol to keep him alive until a new cure could be identified and tried. This brutal yet beautiful story elegantly chronicles the innocent gracefulness and indefatigability of will that inspired Brennan's doctors and transformed the hearts of people around the world. Possibilities is a beautifully written, real life drama about the fighting spirit of one little boy who loved life, his brothers and was unwilling to give up. It has changed lives and turned the world of conventional cancer treatment upside down.

About the Author :
Turner Simkins began his writing career as a staff writer at the Augusta Herald prior to entering Washington and Lee University where he majored in Philosophy and minored in English. He claims that writing is the primary trait allowing him to earn a successful business career in real estate development and digital advertising, as well as with numerous civic organizations. He lives in North Augusta, SC with his wife, Tara and three sons and is co-founder with the pressonfund.org, which seeks less toxic treatments and new curative options for pediatric cancer.

Review :
"Never before has such a compelling story been told about a child's battle against cancer, as Mr. Simkins has done in this marvelously insightful story. Yet this story is about much more than overcoming cancer." --Dr. William Evans, CEO, St Jude Children's Research Hospital, 2004-2014--Dr. William Evans "Possibilities is an unforgettable and powerful account of the untiring strength of love and beauty in life's most challenging circumstances. This book is wonderfully written, inspiring and tremendously moving." --Wm. Paul Young, author of The Shack, Crossroads and Eve --Wm. Paul Young "A gut-wrenching journey of the eternal grit of the blessed Trinity inside a lad's irrepressible soul, surrounded by a thousand hearts and hands and minds joined as one in relentless love to defeat death--again, and again, and again, and again. Life cannot die. Everyone on earth should read this book." --C. Baxter Kruger, Author of the International Bestseller, The Shack Revisited, and Patmos --C. Baxter Kruger "I was inspired by this boy when he was fighting for his life. And I am inspired by him now as he has proven that anything is possible if you believe in it." --Peyton Manning, an American football star and founder of the Peyback Foundation to help disadvantaged children in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Indiana. --Peyton Manning "Simkins' memoir is an absorbing, suspenseful read, complete with a heartbreaking dramatic crescendo as Brennan recovers but others do not. A harrowing, ultimately inspiring cancer journal." --Kirkus Review --Kirkus Review "The long ordeal that Brennan Simkins and his family have faced down is offthecharts extraordinary. Turner Simkins' candid, raw account from the medical trenches will sadden and gladden your heart." --Hampton Sides, bestselling author or Ghost Soldiers, Blood and Thunder, Hellhound On His Trail and, most recently, In the Kingdom of Ice. --Hampton Sides "You will laugh and cry as you share the emotions that Turner Simkins shared with all of us. Life is so precious!" --Jack Nicklaus, recognized as the greatest professional golfer of all time, and his wife Barbara, founder of the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation --Jack Nicklaus "Two things transform us: Great love and great suffering. Possibilities tells the story of how the Simkins family is confronted by great suffering, feeling into it with great love, which brought about true healing. That this healing coincides with physical restoration is a truly joyous gift, but I trust that these pages will speak to you wherever you're at, in the midst of gain and loss. Stories like this make us proud to be human beings, and assure us of the presence of a good God." --Richard Rohr, OFM; founder, The Center for Action and Contemplation; author, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation.--Richard Rohr
