Description: My name is Matthew, and I welcome you to what is the most gratifying item I've ever listed for sale. Over the years, I've sold rare items and items of great monetary value. I've sold items from all over the world and even items that belonged to celebrities. However, while you can purchase this book for the cost of lunch, this is the first item I've ever sold that's truly priceless. Allow me to explain... “You’ve gotta feel the lows before you can experience the highs.” Matthew Mosconi’s personal narrative embodies all the elements of a classic coming-of-age tale, with equal parts humor and suspense. In a quest for personal fulfillment after college, Matthew encounters a series of challenges in a romantic relationship, career advancement, and mental and physical health. Relying on a rock-solid faith, a strong support system, and an inner drive to succeed, he slays even the most horrifying dragons to prevail. Set in the early years of the 21st century in suburbia, the story gradually builds to a riveting episode in which the narrator attempts to purchase a coveted pair of Air Jordan sneakers at a decaying shopping mall in Upstate New York. Those shoes symbolize a turning point at which the narrator’s epiphany provides assurance that even though further crises will undoubtedly arise, his resources are strong enough to conquer them. Matthew’s story is universal in his struggle to define success and overcome life’s hardships, yet is unique in how he achieved these feats with perseverance and positive thinking. It will inspire readers and leave them with a renewed sense of hope and optimism, serving as an important reminder that it is always darkest just before the dawn. The year 2011 was a terribly trying one for me. In the span of a few months, I missed out a great job opportunity in Phoenix, AZ that would've catapulted my career to a new level, a dear friend of mine took his life, and my girlfriend of four years at the time ended our relationship. All of this happening within a short timeframe was beyond hard on me. I lacked direction of what to do professionally, wondered if I'd gone to college for nothing, and was trying to navigate a time of loss without two people I'd had by my side for years. I'm happy to say that I was able to exit one of the darkest times of my life due to the support of those closest to me, some perseverance, and the realization of the true power that comes from positive thinking. My goal in writing this book is to help people who have experienced loss in any form. We all have our struggles when it comes to finding ourselves and the direction we should head, professionally or otherwise. We all experience our first breakup. And while we might not all lose a close friend to suicide, we all experience the loss of someone we care deeply about. I hope my book will act as a voice to others that they're not alone in the struggles they face, and that brighter days are undoubtedly ahead.
