When Life Throws You a Curveball: You Stand on Faith, Hope, and Love - Hardcover

by Maytee Perez (Author), Javier Perez (Author)

When Life Throws You a Curveball: You Stand on Faith, Hope, and Love is a powerful memoir that tells one family's extraordinary journey through trauma and resilience. After a life altering accident leaves Javier Perez a double amputee, both Javier and his wife Maytee, are forced to confront a reality they never imagined, one filled with physical pain, emotional upheaval, and the challenge of holding a family together while life is rewritten overnight. Told through both of their voices, this book offers a rare and intimate look at the same journey from two deeply personal perspectives, the survivor learning to live again, and the spouse and mother carrying the weight of caregiving, faith, and family stability.

With honesty and vulnerability, Javier shares the physical and mental battle of recovery, identity, and purpose after catastrophic loss, while Maytee reveals the often unseen emotional toll of separation from her children, fear for the future, and the quiet strength required to keep moving forward when everything feels uncertain.

More than a story of survival, When Life Throws You a Curveball is a testament to faith, hope, and love. It speaks to anyone facing sudden adversity, caring for a loved one, or searching for meaning when life changes in an instant, offering inspiration, clarity, and proof that even after the hardest hit, life can still be rebuilt with purpose and grace.
