The true story about a woman that survived the Amtrak crash in 2008 outside of Philadelphia. Her horrific injuries. Her wonderful family and friends and how they rallied around her.
If this were a Fiction story, I'd say, "C'mon, there is just NO WAY." but this is a real story.
If you think you are having a bad day, I guarantee you this will put things in perspective.
The writing is conversational and pulls you in. You won't be able to put it down.
There is a bit of faith woven in the book, but not so much that a person of non-faith would be "put off" by it.
A true testament to the power of the body, of doctors (and I am NOT a fan of the commercialized medical community these days) and nurses, and medicine.
A testament to the power of family and friends. And a testament to the power of the mind/body connection.
Though Mrs. Ritter still rides trains, I'll have to admit, I'm now afraid to!
10/10.
