Why Not Me?

by Christopher Hughart

Overview

Why Not Me? follows Christopher as he comes out of a state of limbo: being half-alive and half-resting for a while longer than a man would like to remain asleep. Even though time had stopped for him, it did not for others. So, when the long reign of coma finally ended, nothing and no one seemed to be the same.Feeling like a foreigner in his own body, Christopher tried to make sense of his new reality. The life he once knew was nothing but a blurry memory now. Was he able to leave that life behind? Did he suffer at the hands of the people he loved so dearly? And, did he ever return to a normal life after he opened his eyes?A memoir of a blind visionary of how a broken man experiences a rebirth and struggles of having to overcome a physical disability and a visual impairment to fit in a world that sees him differently, this book is bittersweet and achingly realistic.

About the Author

Christopher knew from a young age that he had a story worth telling and that there would likely be those out there that would like to know and understand his journey. Throughout the years he had written parts of this tale but knew this wouldn’t be a quick task to write about his life as he knew that his life hadn't yet truly begun. He wanted to do something monumental or profound worth not and he knew he had to wait for more of his life to play out.He had graduate High School, graduated from Marshall University, standup comedy during an amateur night, married, had a child, and divorced as he still yet felt there was much more meant for him to aspire to in this life. As he felt the weight of the world and the lack of opportunity to succeed ever mounting on him as he got older, he found his life seemingly stagnant.
It wasn’t until a mere conversation with a good friend that would change his world forever when that friend made Christopher ask himself “Why Not Me?” Thoughts were racing through his mind, and he knew there was no valid reason why he shouldn’t start his life from that point with a purpose. Ever since that point, Christopher had wanted to do all that he could to prove his value and to stand against those who showed a lack in faith in him,
The very question sparked a fire in him that gave him courage in the face of so many things not in his favor or seeming most admirable. He ran for the West Virginia House of Delegates in 2018 with little to no support, a team to help along the way or even the proper know-how. Filled with a stubborn determination, he didn’t want to give up without a fight.His mere aspiration in life is to help make this world work for something better, inspire, and give hope to those who feel life has given them an unfair chance at life.
