Synopsis

Bad things have been happening to people for as long as there have been people.

Some of those people got knocked down and wrote themselves off. This book is about the ones who got knocked down and would not.

A slave, crippled by the man who owned him, who became the most quoted teacher of self-command we have. A queen who lost her country twice in three years and kept arguing for it. A child star who watched the parts stop coming, spent nearly twenty years behind the camera, and came back at fifty-one to win an Oscar. A composer who went deaf and wrote the music anyway. A girl who stopped speaking for five years and grew up to read a poem to the whole country.

Thirty-five true stories, famous names and forgotten ones, from the ancient world to living memory.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND

Each profile stands on its own and can be read in one sitting.

They are honest. Some of these people got their life back. Some never did. A few were never repaid, never apologized to, and never told they had been right. What every one of them did was make another effort after the fall, and that effort is where each story ends.

No profile closes with a lesson. You see what kept going looked like, and the rest is yours.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Just Down, Not Done is a series of true stories. Each volume stands on its own, and you can read them in any order.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Cory Geffre is a C-suite executive who has led three turnarounds in a row. He has come back more than once himself, from a business that failed and from being let go twice. After the second time, he went looking for people who had been down and kept going. These are some of them.

You are just down. You are not done.
