Killer Graces

My Path from Pain to Power and Breakthrough Living

By: Steven Melen, Matthew Hose

Narrated by: Peter Gioe

A journey of adoption, cancer, addiction, and breakthrough living.

In his late 30s, Steve Melen thought he had it all - a successful career in finance, a house on the hill, a beautiful newborn daughter, and a zest for life and travel. He was unstoppable...until a diagnosis of Stage IIIB stomach cancer brought it all to screeching halt. Facing the hard truth that he would live the rest of his life without a stomach, Steve battled his demons and the fact that he only had a 15 percent chance of survival.

Killer Graces is not just another cancer tale. It is a revelation, exposing how cancer can shine a spotlight on things that people prefer not to think or talk about. It is a story of both weakness and strength as Steve navigates a world of pain, drugs, alcohol, marital problems, and anxiety, all rooted in his earliest days as a child of adoption. Join Steve on his journey of self-discovery as he shares that it took a life-threatening illness to bring these issues to light so the true healing process could begin.

Inspirational!

I was continually impressed with Steve’s ability to come to terms with what was important. He had been dealt both a difficult hand and was also blessed in so many ways. His journey to finding peace and realizing that his daughter needed him to be in her life is a reminder of how we are capable of difficult things all the time and that the love we have for others can lead us to finding love for ourselves. Definitely recommend.

Inspirational!!! Fun and compelling!

Loved the story! Loved the narration!! A great and compelling read with a lot of interesting stuff.
