Francie Norring

Francie lives by the motto, "Your life is a story. Write a bestseller!" Yet her own story has included chapters she never anticipated. From a childhood marked by poverty, a fatherless home, and abuse, to overcoming an abusive marriage, divorce, and single motherhood, she has faced more than her share of hardship. But nothing prepared her for the sudden onset of a rare and severe epilepsy that left her with multiple disabilities. When her illness struck, Francie gave up everything she’d built—her career, financial security, and even her prized possessions—to focus on survival. With 17 physicians at Arizona’s Mayo Clinic working tirelessly to help her, she endured emergency setbacks and uncharted medical challenges.
