The World I Fell Into: What Breaking My Neck Taught Me About Life by Melanie Reid
4.0
A insightful, powerful memoir!
Reid found herself paralyzed from the chest down after falling off her horse and breaking her neck, she was fifty two. THE WORLD I FELL INTO is her account of spending a year in hospital working to regain movement again.
This memoir was everything I hoped it would be! With dark humor and much honesty Reid paints a vivid picture of her new world as a quadriplegic person, what it's like losing the use of your body while your mind is still intact made for a very humbling reading experience.
I cant imagine going through such a life altering experience and coming out the other side with as much hope as Reid does. Not everyone could survive the mental, let alone physically toll that Reid lived through and her journey is inspiring and very moving.
Thank you to @greystonebooks for sending me this book opinions are my own.
