Tihana Babic was born in Osijek, Croatia in 1984. Life was going smoothly until the age of eighteen when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour – cancer. This unfortunate event drastically changed and stigmatised her life, but some positive outcomes followed.

Sadly, six years later, she had a recurrence of the brain cancer, and her hopes and dreams were once again shattered. This time around, her stance on life turned to a positive and healthy approach.
From being faced with death twice, Tihana written this book to assure people that fighting and a positive approach is a winning combination.
