About this listen

New York Times bestselling author Janice Dean shares the journeys and lessons she’s learned from everyday heroes taking on long odds.

After her acclaimed memoir, Mostly Sunny, Janice Dean figured she was done trying to survive or bring down awful men. Then she found herself taking on Governor Andrew Cuomo on social media and then at rallies. What at first seemed like a futile fight ended with Cuomo’s historic resignation. But it caused Janice to wonder: What fuels someone’s resolve to go up against a powerful opponent? And how can ordinary people make the world a better place?

In I Am the Storm, Janice shares the stories of others who stood like David against Goliath, choosing to fight for what was right rather than take the easy path. In the book, she shares stories from ordinary people doing extraordinary things, such as:

* a California chef who went up against the government to help restaurants and restaurant workers

*an American college hockey team that beat Soviet champions

*a mother taking on the opioid crisis after her daughter dies

*a gymnast working to reform a broken and abusive system

*a courageous southern nurse who headed to NYC at the height of the pandemic

These and other true stories will reveal what it takes for real people to go through life’s storms. And sometimes, those storms leave permanent damage. You may need a box of tissues as you hear about a veteran who lost his hearing and sight to an IED, or a Minnesota mom who took up the fight against the opioid epidemic after losing her own daughter. But even in our darkest seasons, Janice shows, we can still have hope, resilience, and perseverance. I Am the Storm is an uplifting call to be brave like David no matter what Goliaths we face.

Inspiration!

When I bought this book, I expected it to just make me mad about what happened in the nursing homes. I was so surprised and happy to read about all these different heroes who fought against overwhelming odds like David against Goliath and they all made a difference! Most of these battles are still being fought and I will be watching for the rest of the stories and contributing where I can to help. Thank you Janice for writing
this book and thank you for narrating it yourself! I listened on Audible while at work. I found myself many times searching for tissues to wipe tears of joy and sorrow. Thank you for showing us that one person on a mission can make a difference in the whole world!

Beautifully written and painfully honest.

Beautifully written and painfully honest. Janice manages to remain cool calm and objective considering she lost both of her in-laws to a failed government directive to move sick people from the hospitals to the senior centers. The evidence of malicious intent is overwhelming. To quote the governor “it will spread like fire thru dry grass”. This was a dark chapter in America’s history demonstrating the destructive nature of unbridled quest for control. It must be answered and not forgotten.

So inspiring! Events that everyone needs to know about.

Shedding a light on these very important issues in an inspiring way will help make American more about the individual and less about tribalism. Thank you.

What a surprise this book was!

I loved this book. I got it because I like Janice Dean but I thought it was about the weather. This book was so inspiring and inspirational I couldn’t believe it. It was also educational. It was so refreshing because some politics were brought in but I couldn’t tell you if Janice was democrat or Republican. One of the best books I’ve ever read and I realized sometimes I am the storm!
