One who looks for the potential in each individual, Kelly Martin, in this biography of his own life's struggles, shares the thoughts and feelings of one who is striving for achievement. Each one of us, on this planet we call Earth, is on a journey, one on which there are unknown roadblocks along the way.

To live a life of success, we each must deal with many different personalities, not all of which have our best interests in mind. Wrought with unmarked intersections or “splits” in the road, there are also many decisions one must make, some of those emerging as major setbacks to progress if the wrong path is taken. There are “pits” along the road waiting to swallow the careless or the unwary.

Over the years, Mr. Martin has met many people of a diverse number of backgrounds. He believes that everybody has a story to tell and that each individual can “climb out” of whatever pit they might find themselves in; they can achieve their goals through faith, given the necessary encouragement along the way.

We each have our battles to fight. In this book, he takes us back to a famous battle that occurred during World War II, paralleling life's challenges with the survival of one participant of that battle.
