Are you searching for greater perspective? Have you felt lost in a world of instability and uncertainty? Or have you lost hope in the face of difficult circumstances?

Take a journey with author Shane Svorec as she invites readers to see the world through the backseat of a VW bus. Across the country and through the years, colorful experiences make up her transient upbringing. Her empathetic spirit and perpetual optimism become the foundation for a life of adaptability, greater understanding, and never-ending wonder. This is a story about a girl who refuses to be a victim of her past or a product of her circumstances. With a firm, but free spirit, Shane searches for purpose even in pain and shows others how to do the same. Creating a life out of overcoming the unthinkable, she dreams of a brighter future and a life of possibilities as she stares out of her family Volkswagen's backseat. The many "no-coincidence" connections she makes with others along the way prove not only to be profound but purposeful as well, while they unknowingly steer her onto the path she’s meant to travel.

These are the tales of the Broken Little Believer, the truth behind All the Pretty Painful Pieces, and the testimonies collected along the Path to Finding Purpose.

Like going on a road trip with a good friend and a great playlist, this book weaves true stories into life lessons while entertaining and encouraging readers.

In this book, readers will:

● Discover how uncomfortable experiences can serve as opportunities for self-exploration and personal growth while creating a foundation for a healthy perspective and an attitude of gratitude.
● Realize that in order to maintain hope, attract positivity, and fulfill one’s purpose, it is necessary to implement pause, practice personal reflection, and routinely acknowledge the needs of our soul while taking inventory of those who occupy our time and space.
● Reveal a new (or greater) appreciation for their own journey as they recognize the value in painful lessons that serve to bring us closer to our purpose and a life of peace and fulfillment.

Beyond a great story, this book:

● Features reasons to believe in the underdog while showcasing how false perceptions, widely held beliefs, and initial impressions are not only misleading but often wrong.
● Provides a positive pathway to introduce, renew, and stretch what we believe possible.
● Creates a mindset of possibilities within readers as they learn to recognize blessings in disguise, further open their minds, deepen their understanding, and reach their potential in areas of their life where they’ve become stagnant, complacent, or resentful.
