Desperate To Survive is a heart wrenching true story of how family wealth can turn one adult child against another. On stealing her mother's will and finding it not in her favor, a sister launches a sadistic attack that will eventually overwhelm her brother, the rightful heir, leaving him in total moral and financial ruin. The story details the day-by-day account of the pain and suffering the brother endures after being evicted from the family home and finding himself homeless in the Sudbury area of Northern Ontario during one of the coldest winters on record. With little food, practically no heat, and only snow for water, he approaches the edge of death itself. In trying to regain a sense of stability, he suffers through embarrassment, humiliation, and the dangerous world of drugs, eventually finding himself 2,300 miles from the home he once knew.  Desperate To Survive is a powerful story with a lesson that can teach us how to avoid family disaster when making a will.
