What inspired you to write your memoir?
I was born with Cystic Fibrosis and I’ve always had a passion for inspiring others to live their lives to the fullest no matter what. Health is not the absence of disease, and I’ve learned so many tips along the path to make my life more meaningful and overall “healthy” even in the face of a life threatening disease. This passion and my own journey for answers and a better life is what inspired me to finally sit down and write.

Author Bio:
Mandy B. Anderson dreamed of becoming a professional singer, despite being born with cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease that severely limited the very breath she needed to sing. Overcoming statistics of an early death, a fire that destroyed her and her husband Nate’s home, and the limits of her own mind, Mandy has become a sought after inspirational speaker, coach, author and singer who has written and produced multiple songs. When she’s not speaking or coaching, she writes weekly newsletters on her website that cover topics about faith, health, and inspiration to keep going during difficult times. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, Nate and their dog, Ajah.
How did you decide how to publish your book and where is it published through:
I decided to self-publish my book because I have a strong contact list of other families that have Cystic Fibrosis and because I wanted it to be available more quickly than if I had sent it off to several different publishers. I hired a professional editor and graphic designer. I then published it through CreateSpace.com. They have been wonderful to work with! I also published the e-version through Smashwords.com
