On a cold February morning, a train derailed next to the Rocky Yale residence near Burlington, ND. Fifteen-year-old, active, sports loving Chad Yale was critically burned over 80% of his body and given less than a 1% chance of survival. Rocky Yale also sustained burns, and the family lost their home, business and all earthly possessions. He is Alive! is an inspirational story about a teenager who defied the odds and a family whose faith and courage united them in the face of trauma. The book, written by Chad's mother, Cindy, is a testament to a mother's belief that miracles can and still do happen. The Yales have formed a nonprofit foundation, Support Thru Sports, and all profits from the book are being donated to this foundation.
