description: When Dave Borowski sustained life-threatening burn injuries over much of his tiny body at the age of six weeks, the prognosis was as bad as it gets. He survived the ordeal with the loss of his right hand and part of his left hand and significant disfigurement. Eighteen years and dozens of surgeries later, he barely graduated from high school before heading down a slippery slope that included stints in the local jail and a dismal lack of direction. A career, romantic relationships and the concept of thinking more than five minutes ahead weren't even on the horizon. Today, more than fifty years after that devastating fire, Dave holds an advanced degree in economics and finance, is a director in one of the wealthiest financial organizations in the world and serves, with the support of his wife, as the Executive Director of Flicker of Hope Foundation. This is the story of how a seriously challenged young man turned frustration into amibition, agitation into determination and fierce independence into a resolve to help others finding their way along the grueling road he knows so well. Proceeds from sales of this book support Flicker of Hope Foundation.
