À propos de cet audio

People often say, "I feel like I've been run over by a truck." Katie actually was.

On a sunny morning bike ride in Brooklyn, 24-year-old Katie McKenna was forever changed when she was run over by an 18-wheeler. Being crushed under a massive semi wasn't something Katie should have survived. After 10 hours of emergency surgery, she woke to find herself in a body and a life that would never be the same.

In this brutally honest and surprisingly funny memoir, Katie recalls the pivotal event and the long, confusing road to recovery that followed. Between the unprepared nudity in front of her parents postsurgery, hospital happy hours, and the persistent fear that she would never walk again, Katie details the struggles she's faced navigating her new reality. This inspiring memoir follows Katie's remarkable journey to let go of her old life and fall in love with her new one.

Amazing Story

Katie's story is both breathtakingly frightening and inspiring. I have often wondered how I would go on living if I suffered a tragic accident, and my life as I knew it ended. Now I don't wonder so much. By sharing her journey ~ made better by hearing her speak it, in her own voice ~ I can see the ups and downs, the emotional rollercoaster, the path towards acceptance, and seizing life all over again. I also appreciated Katie's sense of humour as she shared her experience. Thanks for sharing Katie.

Wow. What this young woman went through, what she not only survived but learned so much about gratitude from is staggering. Certainly puts a bad hair day in perspective. She's honest about her weaknesses while celebrating her strength. You should probably read this book.

Well Told Story!

I really liked the overall story and descriptive explanation of her feelings and how she explained how vulnerable she felt! She is a fighter yet still showed how she needed her loved ones to help keep that fighting spirit. Very honest and heartfelt story! It made me sad to know how some hospital staff treat vulnerable patients, especially patients that may not have loved supporting them!

Great story about perseverance
