Driving Forwards

Autor Sophie L Morgan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 mar 2022
In the years since the crash I have scoured the memory of that night. One part of me wants to clasp my eighteen-year-old face, pull her towards me and scream as loud as a fighter-jet, LOOK OUT! But, looking back, what would I want to do differently. Would I warn her what was going to happen? Perhaps not, perhaps I would say nothing at all. Impulsive, childish and foolish, I now know there was no better way for her to go but forward, to drive head-first into the unknown. To fall forward into life. Because if she hadn't, then I wouldn't be where I am no, about to do exactly the same.

Descriere

On the precipice of starting the life she had always dreamed of, Sophie Morgan was the victim of a tragic accident at eighteen that left her paralysed. Over the years, medical setbacks would level the fragile life she had begun to build; each time challenging her mental health and resilience. Yet each time she struggled through, determined to channel her adversity into opportunity, to see her challenges as a unique chance for creativity and fuel this into becoming an agent for change.
Part memoir, part coping strategy for how to cope with the unforeseen, Starting Over looks at adversity, change and resilience - the anger at the tumultuous change of fortunes, but that as arbitrary and frightening as these changes may be, some things will always remain, like the beauty of our landscape and the strength of our community, and it is as much up to you what you choose to let go, as it is what fate may take from you.
