    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    EXACTLY what I thought it would be when I bought it.

    It's an investigative journalist who researched into what happens when people donate their bodies after their death, she saw everything from plastic surgeons honing their skill to a facility in America that dump bodies in a private woodland in various positions and locations to study the decomposition of the human body depending upon the way it is dumped. fascinating stuff. I LOVE forensics

    Sounds interesting, i can just about stomach dead bodies in the context of a story of sorts, not sure the bare facts would be such interesting reading...
