OverviewOn July 3, 2009, Scott Fedor dove into a lake, broke his neck, and instantly altered the course of his life-forever. A driven individual, with a thirst for adventure who thought he had his life planned out, Fedor was left paralyzed and subsequently drowned. Given little hope by doctors for a productive life, Scott refused to give up and instead made it his mission to embark upon a new adventure and defy the odds. This captivating and inspirational memoir recounts the collection of life experiences Scott endured that ultimately provided the tools needed to confront such adversity. Never one to sit still, Scott's zest for life rewarded him with discovery across the globe and ran the gamut from skydiving to bull riding to sport fishing. However, Do you want to live? was the question Scott had to answer, faced with a life full of uncertainty when his dreams were ripped away.
