    Taken from the inside cover:
    This true-life drama relates the story of Patty Milkovich, a married woman who decides to take a long-distance motorcycle trip unaccompanied. The journey is abruptly cut short however, when within three hours of departing from her home in Michigan, she is involved in a hit-and-run accident that leaves her in a coma and fighting for her life. As told by Patty s husband Butch, who had the closeness of his riding brothers and his wife riding her own bike, he was on top of the world. Then the day came when the thin thread all our lives hang upon unraveled. Portraying a combination of determination, inner-strength and religious belief, this story reveals his fears and emotions as he recalls some extraordinary circumstances that occur at the time of the accident and during the crucial days thereafter. Circumstances that may be construed as extremely fortunate, aided by an unseen power or as we call it by Angels in waiting
    About the Author
    Matthew Butch Milkovich was born in 1951 and raised in Allen Park, a small suburb of Detroit. He was well grounded in the Christian faith by a loving mother and father. In high school when unanswered questions arose concerning the scriptures conflicting with his studies of science and history, he departed his faith and went a different way. Buying his first brand new Harley in 1971, he and dozens of friends from his home town chose the Live to Ride way of life. Living on the edge and side-stepping doom more than once, he received his first special gift from God, Patty. They met, fell in love, married and were blessed with three wonderful children. With the help and encouragement of Patty, he regained his faith and received the understanding to many unanswered questions. They built a home and started a construction business in Michigan.
