NEWTOWN, Pa., March 23, 2010 — When Edwin Hill was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma his first reaction was disbelief. He was young, healthy, in the prime of his career and active. In fact, he and his wife, a nurse, had been running up to four miles together every morning. Now his thoughts turned to death. Would medicine be able to cure him? Was he going to die? What would he tell his family?
In Hill's first book, Grace, Guts and Glory in America, he takes readers on a journey of searching for meaning and truth. Hill tells the story of his childhood, growing up in Gary, Indiana. As Hill puts it, "Born black and poor in the shadows of the steel mills, simply surviving life, in retrospect, feels like a major achievement."
The son of a single mother, his life could have turned out quite differently. Instead, Hill did well in school, eventually graduating from Indiana State University with a degree in advertising and art education. He went on to climb to the top of the corporate ladder at Johnson & Johnson, becoming Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. Until his cancer diagnosis in 1998, his life seemed picture perfect.
Grace, Guts and Glory in America tells the story of Hill's eventual — and miraculous — recovery, and how the intervention of both medicine and faith saved his life. He shares his faith with readers in the chapter, "Psalms for the 21st Century." His hope is that others struggling with disease — mental, spiritual or physical — will find comfort, guidance and hope in his tale.
