Books, Manuscripts
Sometimes an unexpected fall can lead a person to reach for magnificent heights. Dana Liesegang was a lively, athletic, 19-year-old engineman in the US Navy when she was sexually assaulted by a fellow sailor, thrown off a cliff and left for dead. She survived - but woke up in a hospital hours later paralysed from the neck down, with doctors giving no hope for recovery. They underestimated the spirit and stubbornness of their patient. In this book, Dana recounts her agonising and sometimes comical struggle from total dependence to doing the 'impossible' - walking again. In the process, she learns the importance of forgiveness, discovers the awe-inspiring power of belief and perseverance, and transforms herself from silent victim to outspoken advocate and inspiration for people everywhere.
