The book is about how people have overcome what seems impossible.

  "I had this everyday life, but inside I was struggling," author Melissa Ann Hopely said.

Hopely was a standout athlete, but she was consumed with "feelings of worthlessness."

"I couldn't get out of bed," she said.

How Hopely turned darkness to light is a journey she is telling in her book called "The People You Meet In Real Life."

"I started sharing my story and it was like a magnet. I go through this too. Oh my gosh, I want to share my story. Then literally all of a sudden I had 30 people that wanted to be a part of this," Hopely said.

The real life stories in the book come from people around Philadelphia impacted by all kinds of heartache and hardships. They not only survive, but they're able to find hope and inspiration. Her book is available online at Amazon, Barnes and noble and other leading book retailers in addition to any bookstore nationwide.
