These would be his last steps as a fully intact human being: a freak rock fall pinned him for two days alone under a one-ton boulder, resulting in a double leg amputation. A Test of Will is a story both tragic and inspiring, conveying the horror of what happened and the extraordinary spirit that helped Macdonald survive a seemingly impossible ordeal.

Book Description
Educators are given the task [by law] to report any known or suspected harm, or injustices against children in their care; considering them "mandatory reporters." However, alerting the principal (according to policy), of my lead teacher challenging my integrity to alter a special needs student state CRCT, labeled me a "whistleblower!" The principal did nothing to the lead teacher who confessed to the cheating, but instead fired me. Although the school district has a "Policy on Ethics and Whistleblowing at Atlanta Public Schools" in place, I was denied whistleblower rights and suffered horrendous retaliations before being wrongfully terminated. "Naomi Williams predicament has caught the attention of lawmakers here at the state capital who believe that public employees are still not afforded sufficient job protection AFTER they blow the whistle". - Channel 2. Did "loyalty" to the children I served prove "disloyalty" to the school district that fired me [in retaliation] for reporting [their] misconduct? THE FINDINGS ARE ALARMING AND WILL SET YOUR HEART ABLAZE!!
