Against All Odds: The Less Than 1% Chance

A TRUE STORY. A POWERFUL ANTHOLOGY.

Against All Odds:
The Less Than 1% Chance
⎯⎯⎯⎯ ♡ ⎯⎯⎯⎯

What if the moments that nearly destroyed you were actually 

preparing you for your greater purpose?

 

Maria Aponte wasn't supposed to survive. As the surviving twin with less than a 1% chance at life, she beat the odds before she even took her first breath. From cervical cancer at eighteen to nearly dying on an operating table as a newly single mom of three...Maria's story reads like a medical impossibility. Yet she's still here. And she's not alone.

 

In this powerful memoir and anthology, Maria shares her journey alongside eight other extraordinary stories of people who refuse to let impossible odds define their endings. 

 

Each chapter concludes with life-changing takeaways you can 

apply to your own life...transforming pain into purpose and 

adversity into advantage.
