Georgia B.J. Anderson's Perseverance of a Young Man is an in-depth tale of family, love, grief and loss. The author beautifully encapsulated the emotions that one has to face when encountering the death of a beloved. Perseverance of a Young Man sure is a tear-jerker, an emotional roller coaster. The book is centered around Chad, a brave, young individual who, after fighting the battle of cancer for years, lost his life to car accident. Chad was a lionheart. Always up for new opportunities. He knew the essence of life and lived to fulfill every bit of it. Anderson wishes to make the young adults aware that facing difficulties in life is inevitable. The point is, that they must keep on persevering until they accomplish their life set goals. They should not let any obstacle prevent them from achieving their life goals, be it related to education, health, society or family.
