EUGENE, Ore., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Living with a brain tumor for over fifteen years, Alice Snow has been at death's door many times. In spite of the fact that her doctors told her she would not survive, Snow refused to accept their prognosis. Now Alice Snow tells her funny, romantic, and, at times, heartbreaking story in her memoir, "The Miracle of Me" (published by iUniverse).
Snow held fast to the belief that her life was meant to serve a higher purpose, which was why she didn't believe that the tumor was going to prematurely end her life. Instead, she focused on her purpose to inspire others to lead their best lives through service, spirituality, and recognition of life's precious gifts. Snow believes that her faith has been the key to her miraculous survival, and she has taken this unique position to impart a powerful, positive message to her readers in a story that is a mix of "Six Feet Under" and "Eat Pray Love."
"The Miracle of Me" shares Snow's journey of growing up in an eccentric family of undertakers, which helped teach the author firsthand about death and its impact on the living. As a young woman, she traveled the world, which included boarding with Dutch nuns and witnessing the crushing poverty of Bolivia. It was these experiences that taught Snow that no oppression, grief or suffering could permanently destroy the human spirit. Eventually, love swept in and a lifelong romance sustained her through tremendous difficulties, including the challenge of facing her own mortality. However, Snow was determined not to let a brain tumor distract her from her personal mission and is still enjoying life to its fullest today, believing she is one of life's miracles.
