DeVon Price faces death multiple times but refuses to surrender. From boyhood through his service as a Marine, he fights to stay alive and create something lasting. Marriage brings new challenges as he builds a family while carrying the weight of his near-death experiences. As a father, he works to pass on the lessons learned from his brushes with mortality. The years advance and DeVon becomes a grandfather, then great-grandfather, watching his bloodline extend into the future. His story spans decades of American life, from military service to family milestones. Each generation carries forward the strength he forged through surviving when death came calling. This is the account of one man's determination to live fully and leave something meaningful behind.
