Dr. Kimberly Young, program director of the university’s Master’s in Strategic Leadership program, has released her memoir, “Building Mountains from Dust.”

The book chronicles Young’s transformation from a noted counselor helping others to becoming a patient hoping to survive cancer, and how she found her faith after her diagnosis and surviving the death of her husband.

At 50, Young’s structured, organized, and driven life is thrown into a tailspin when she is diagnosed with advanced stage lung cancer. Never a smoker, Young makes frank reflections about her decision not to have children, and how she makes peace with her mother, who abandoned her more than 15 years ago. This is a story about heart-wrenching life lessons, forgiveness, and about finding faith, as in a tragic twist of fate, Young survives her cancer when her husband of 25 years unexpectedly dies.
