From Cancer Survivor To Author

Written by the design team at HVD Studios, LLC

One part of our job that we thoroughly enjoy are our clients. Each one has their own unique story, whether they went from rags to riches, or being featured on a national program like ESPN.  When we started working with our client Tonja Ancrum, we were beyond impressed.  She fought cancer not one, not two, not 3, but 4 times!


Her new book discusses her struggles as well as how she's rebounded to pursue many of her life goals, including the military.  Grounded by faith, she lives for every moment and enjoys spending time with her kids and her husband.


Please take a moment to visit her personal site: www.tonjaancrum.com and her non-profit site: www.eaessi.org.  Both designs were created in house.
