One inch changed everything.

Raised in rural New Prague, Minnesota, Steven A. Hauer never imagined that a single moment would redefine his life forever. One Inch Between Life and Death is a real-life miracle, a true story of survival, faith, and resilience that unfolds far from headlines or cameras.

This memoir is not exaggerated or fictionalized. It is an honest account of how close life can come to ending, and how purpose can emerge from the smallest margin imaginable.

Through reflection and lived experience, Steven shares what it means to move forward after everything nearly stopped. This book is for anyone who has ever wondered why they survived something they should not have, or what they are meant to do with the second chance they were given.

A real-life miracle from rural Minnesota, told by the man who lived it.
