Description
From a terrible accident that left her paraplegic, Emma Carey has become an inspiration for hundreds of thousands online to live life to the fullest and remind us that if we can, we must. There on that helicopter, somewhere over Switzerland on a Sunday in June, came the first tiny whisper. A voice that that would carry me for years to come. ‘I'm going to be okay. There's still joy here.’ When Emma Carey was twenty, she fell from 14,000 feet and survived. In The Girl Who Fell From the Sky , Emma tells us the inspirational story of how, through what could be considered one of her greatest tragedies, she found her truest self. From waking in hospital to the news that she was a paraplegic to learning how to use her legs again, through the six-year long court case and now being finally free to make the most of her life, Emma teaches us the importance of courage and resilience and how to appreciate the extraordinary beauty found even in the most ordinary moments of our lives. This heartfelt book is more than a memoir, it's a call to action that reminds us not to take our lives and abilities for granted but to live every day like it could be our last.
