Overcoming trauma or a major obstacle in life takes courage-a word that originally meant, "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."The ability to change a negative into a positive, to turn lemons into lemonade, and to then share that recipe with the world to prevent others from suffering-it's one of the most beautiful things a person can do.These stories and storytellers in Lemonade Stand are full of heart and are the definition of courage. Inside you'll find a transforming look at a young woman who was assaulted by her best friend, a father navigating raising newborn triplets, and a man who lost his eyesight in a tragic accident and proved that you don't need eyes to truly see. When life gives you lemons, squeeze, add sugar and pick up a copy of The i'Mpossible Project's Lemonade Stand.

By the time Josh Rivedal turned twenty-five, he thought he'd have the perfect life-a few years singing on Broadway, followed by a starring role in his own television show. After which, his getaway home in the Hamptons would be featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and his face would grace the cover of the National Enquirer as Bigfoot's not-so-secret lover. Instead, his resume is filled with an assortment of minor league theatre and an appearance on The Maury Povich Show-a career sidetracked by his father's suicide, a lawsuit from his mother over his inheritance, and a break-up with his long-term girlfriend. Tortured by his thoughts, he finds himself on the ledge of a fourth floor window, contemplating jumping out to inherit his familial legacy. In turn he must reach out to the only person who can help him before it's too late. Based in part on his acclaimed one-man show, The Gospel According to Josh is a comedic and poignant true-to-life tale of love, loss, struggle, and survival-a gospel account of one young man's passage into manhood-his twenty-eight-year Gentile bar mitzvah.This is the 2nd edition of the book, The Northeast NE Suicide Prevention Coalition (NNESPC) Edition, with a foreword by Donna Wolff.
