                    About Why Me Project

                    From the publisher's feed

                    We've all been there at one time or another (good or bad) where we've questioned: "Why Me"? Each Wednesday Johnny Rocket and Hollie Taylor talk to people about their "Why Me" moments, discussing “life unscripted” with inspiring guests who will reveal how they got back up after reaching a painful low. Hollie and Johnny will ask how deep those valleys were, and how they climbed out, shining a light on the world through their testimony.
