He goes by day by day telling the reader that when you fight cancer you begin to realize how little events such as driving your daughter to a friend's house is very important to you. He goes on saying that every day could very well be his last and how you have to make the best out of everything. He says "When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, and the manner in which you live." He and his family praise every moment they have together. Stuart Scott does not end up achieving his goal to be with his daughters, but he left a mark on how life should be treated when cancer strikes.

The book Mirrors, by Ted Dekker, is the second book in the "Eyes Wide Open" book series. Christie and her friend Austin have been placed in a hospital for people with special needs, even though they don't have any. They have daily rehab sessions and they don't take it easy on them. They both are split up and trying to find different ways out. Austin was placed in the hospital because he saw the activities director holding someone captive and the director entered him into the system so he wouldn't get discovered. Christy was thought to be the missing patient, and since she had no ID on her, she was submitted into the hospital. Will they ever get out of the hospital? If they can prove themselves or make people see what the activities director is doing, then maybe they have a shot to get out, or they'll just stay and be called Crazy the rest of their lives.
