In this book by Joel Metzger, we learn what to do when the whole damn lemon tree falls on us and we end up in a coma. The result is a delicious brew of wisdom, practical advice, and lighthearted fun. This multimedia journey is not just to be read. We live it with Joel, and so are changed along with him." - Max Rivers, The Marriage Mediator, Author of Loving Conflict "Hats off to Joel Metzger for creating Piece We Need – a compelling graphic novel about one of the most important topics: how we can tap the inner strength we have, but all-too-rarely access. Joel, God bless him, speaks from experience, having to radically reconfigure his life after a traumatic car accident 30 years ago. Piece We Need is a living, breathing example of the power and resilience of the human spirit and a great reminder about our extraordinary potential." - Mitch Ditkoff, Co-Founder and President, Idea Champions Author of Storytelling for the Revolution and Storytelling at Work “I’ve had the privilege of watching this book evolve over the last 10 years.

Now his book will teach and encourage others to look at life from another perspective. His book reminds us of the power we have inside of us and of the need to slow down and listen to ourselves.
