We Must Carry On: a True Story of Overcoming Tragedy

Publisher Marketing: WE MUST CARRY ON is more than an autobiography of one man's triumph over tragedy. It crosses over into the self-help genre to inspire others to use their hardships as motivational tools. Profound and vital messages abound for anyone battling depression or challenged by personal loss. WE MUST CARRY ON follows the path of first time author Bob Thomas, as he bares his soul regarding the tragedies he has endured. His father committed suicide two years after being exposed as an incestuous pedophile in a small town in Ontario. His own downward spiral into depression and near suicide was not the only major setback on his life-path. In 2003, fate dealt another nearly lethal blow - the loss of his young daughter to cancer. Her memory became the inspiration for a successful fundraiser for Childhood Cancer. Now his battle with depression and dealing with his own abuse have driven him to complete this cathartic memoir to help others do battle with their own demons. WE MUST CARRY ON explains how we can turn tragedy into fuel for positive change. With determination and fortitude, we can climb up on top of the boulders that suddenly drop and block our path. With the perspective from that altitude, we can see where we are supposed to go, and that boulder can provide the jumping off point to propel us forward.
