Sweta Patel wrote the life story of Rory Londer, a motivational speaker who would come speak to her students. He was stuck in a cycle of addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine for 17 years. He would spend nights staying warm in an old laundromat. Years later, he ended up buying that same laundromat and turned it into a million-dollar home improvement business. The book is structured around 12 life lessons that Sweta learned from Rory's journey. At its heart, it's a book about human connection and taking the time to meet people where they are.
