Motivational speaker, life coach and attorney, Francine Ward has overcome obstacles most people would consider impossible.

At fourteen she was a heroin addict and a practicing alcoholic; today she's twenty-seven years clean and sober.

At eighteen she was a high school dropout who lived homeless on the streets of New York; today she's a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center and no longer lives on the streets.

At twenty-one she was a prostitute selling her body to support her drug and alcohol habits; today she's a lawyer, a successful entrepreneur, a loving wife, and a twice-published author.

At twenty-six she was hit by a car and told she'd never walk again; in her early forties, she ran two 26.2-mile marathons.

At twenty-eight she was the poster child for someone who is selfish, self-centered, and self-absorbed; today, at fifty-three, her amazing life is about being of service to others.
