Live Like You Were DyingLatest Book Released

Michael Morris has published Live Like You Were Dying, available from Westbow Press.

An inspiring story based on Tim McGraw's number one hit song, "Live Like You Were Dying."

When workaholic Nathan Bishop faces a terminal illness the world that he has carefully crafted comes crashing down. When the job he thought that only he could do is taken by someone else, Nathan finds himself right back where he started: in the small Georgia town that he fought to escape. There his grandmother and wife struggle to guide him back to a relationship with his estranged father. It is only when the two men leave Choctaw, Georgia and set off on a driving trip out West that they find the pieces to their broken past.
