The Emotional Struggle —

The Emotional Struggle is a book that has touched my heart. The Author, Brandon Ryan, has taught me so much, but what's more is that he has given me hope.

The Emotional Struggle is basically about the struggles that Brandon faced his whole life and how he has coped with them.

It's also about how he tries to be a good person, even when he's in pain and how he has struggled with depression. He has often told me that during winter, his muscles get so stiff that it's hard for him to even get out of bed without being in pain. However, through it all he still wants to do something good for the world.

He wants to be a hope for people who struggle with depression and suicide and he wants to fight for the hopeless. There's millions of people that are hurting and Brandon wants to let them know that they're not alone. I don't know if he knows this, but he really is a hope for people.

Brandon is 24 years old and "The Emotional Struggle" is his first book. I know he's going to leave his prints on someone's heart as he has with mine.

Just by reading his book I noticed that he has more compassion than I've ever seen in anyone. His book proves true to the statement "You can't really know someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes." I know that I can't even Imagine what it's like to have Cerebral Palsy, but that book was so easy to understand that it was almost as if I was in his place.

There's no doubt in my mind that he will accomplish everything that he wants to accomplish. He really encourages me every day. He's one of the most honest-hearted individuals I know. He has feelings like everyone else and he deserves to be treated as respectfully as you would treat a person who doesn't have cerebral palsy, or any other disability.

There are a lot of lessons that people need to learn as they grow. I know Brandon isn't perfect by any means, but I think that just by writing that book, he taught so many lessons for each individual that reads it. I also know that every person is different, no two people are exactly alike, so each lesson learned will be different for each person.

Everything he writes is pure poetry to me. We need more people like him in this world who take the time to give of themselves freely, not just because they get paid to do it or because they want to impress someone.

If you just help someone because you want to impress someone else, then your motives aren't real and pure and right. You have to be moved and motivated to help people.

I wish I could write with as much passion and feeling as he does. it's hard to write like that, I know because I've tried. In any case, Brandon is one of the best authors I know. He's also my favorite. If you read his book, I hope it will help you to realize your sense of self-worth, your true potential and your true calling.
