Publisher's summary

YOU CAN FIND PURPOSE IN YOUR PAIN!

During an ordinary Fall afternoon, Kimber Hanchey-Ogden was delivered devastating news: Seth, her 17-year-old son, had been hit by a car and airlifted to a hospital! Having sustained a traumatic brain injury, doctors told her that if Seth made it, he would never be able to walk or talk; he would not remember his past or understand humor. And that was just for starters.

As hopeless as his prognosis seemed, Kimber summoned her courage, doing all she could to help her son recover. What evolved was a team effort between mother and son! Today, beyond focusing on Seth's thriving they strive to inspire and motivate others to find purpose in their pain.

Push Through It is the account of Seth Hanchey's extraordinary story including his accident and ongoing recovery. His journey not only led him to miraculously walk again, but compete and medal in the 2018 USA Games of the Special Olympics as a powerlifter (as featured on ESPN). Kimber shares the setbacks, as well as the strides, while highlighting her own story within Seth's. She opens up about the challenges of being a caregiver and provides practical and inspirational help to others who find themselves in such a role.

Push Through It will move you to tears and leave you in awe while providing encouragement and empowerment for whatever challenges you.

Absolutely amazing!

I follow Seth & his family on Instagram & their positivity is contagious! This book had me laughing, crying & praising God for His miracles as Seth is surely one! I too endured a life ending accident in March 2010 & so much of what Seth's mom wrote reminded me of my own struggles with a tbi, a broken body & a disconnected mind body connection.
Not only did this book cover Seth's miraculous & continued recovery, but did a great job reminding ppl that the world continues to turn even though you feel like yours has just stopped. Going through the stages of grief & anger that come with something like this is another thing ppl don't always understand. Sometimes they see a healed person & expect all has returned to normal, when there's a raging river underneath the calm waters.
Also the fact that just bc you're released from the hospital doesn't mean it's the end of the turmoil. It's difficult being the injured person watching everyone else's world move on while you're stuck in this weird groundhog's day of physical therapy & doctors appointments.
I loved hearing how Seth continues to pursue new & exciting things that may have never presented themselves had he not had his accident. Just speaks to the determination of a man on a mission.
You can just tell by seeing Seth online that he's got the sweetest heart & spirit. He genuinely loves ppl & wants to lead them to God. I loved hearing his entire story as I'd just got bit's & pieces on Instagram. God is so good & Seth is a testiment of His grace & mercy. Kimber did a fantastic job giving us her side of the story while really staying true to Seth's experience.
Great job you guys, all God!
