This book really surprised me. Dr. Sprouse’s story is honest and powerful, showing what it takes to push through tough situations and keep moving forward. It’s not just about nursing or leadership, it’s about resilience and finding your place even when the odds are stacked against you. A very inspiring read.

"From the dusty markets of my childhood to the executive boardrooms of nationally recognized hospitals, my journey has never followed a straight line. It zigzagged through tomato stalls, volleyball courts, clinical rotations in far-flung towns, and ghost-filled hospital night shifts. It weathered typhoons, poverty, racism, cultural divides, and heartbreak. But every step, no matter how painful or uncertain, was anchored in a stubborn belief:

 

I was made for more.

 

Not just for myself—but for others."
