Gut Punch

Gut Punch is a heartfelt and unflinching look at what happens when life delivers the unexpected. When Paul’s wife, Wendi, was diagnosed with cancer, everything changed in an instant. What followed was not only her fight for survival, but Paul’s own journey of learning how to care, endure, and hold a family together in the face of uncertainty. But the story doesn’t end with survival — it explores the equally challenging path of rediscovering balance, love, and purpose once the crisis is over.

 

This book is for anyone who has faced a sudden curveball — illness, loss, or any moment that shakes your world to its core. Through Paul’s honest storytelling and reflections, Gut Punch offers hope, perspective, and the reminder that even in life’s hardest seasons, we have the strength to rise again.
