Never Ever Quit is a first person inspirational work in the words of Jane Hoeppner with the assistance of Terry Hutchens. Jane Hoeppner is the wife of the late Indiana University football coach, Terry Hoeppner. Jane tells how she came to learn the power of the never quit attitude and its relevance to those left behind when disease takes a loved one.
Terry was intrigued with the fact that regardless of profession, achievers shared a commonality - they learned to persevere. And so it is not surprising that this would be the hallmark of Jane and Terry's life together. Their belief was simple - if you don't quit, you have a chance. Never Ever Quit chronicles the eighteen month battle with brain cancer as well as Jane's life without him. In the face of challenges, they chose to trust God and His plan for their lives. Jane provides an intimate look at the journey she shared with Coach Terry Hoeppner and the important role God has played in their relationship and in her power to overcome adversity.
