Every Day is a Gift by Tammy Duckworth

 Tammy Duckworth is truly the most positive person I have ever seen. Despite an economically challenging childhood, a difficult relationship with her father, and obstacles facing women in the military, she was determined to succeed. And through hard work and perseverance she did. And that positive attitude helped her get through the helicopter attack that cost her her legs, a loss in her first attempt to run for the House, and challenges getting pregnant in her 40s. 

This is a very inspirational book. And after you read it, you can see why she truly believes that every day is indeed a gift to be treasured. This is the perfect read for these trying times.
