About the Book
In 2010 Terri Louise suffered an industrial accident.
She took a long ambulance ride to the hospital, only to be kicked out hours later because she had no insurance and only "back pain". The doctor refused her tests and would not accept the worker's compensation as her way to pay.
She suffered two weeks in bed waiting for the swelling to recede to have a vital surgery to her spine. During this period her ex-husband sued her for custody of their son. Her attorney refused to help her and would not let an associate assist her either.
Devastated by her injury, countless hours learning to be patient about her healing, physical therapist appointments and bottles of Ibuprofen later, Terri walks fairly well. This book describes her hours upon hours of suffering, prayers, horrors, court room dramas, and laughter, as she walks back into life as a handicapped mom.
And in all of this...she refused to give up!
Reviews (Excerpts)
- "[...] i can not believe how mental some people are. you do realize how strong you are, don't you? be proud of who you have become. i had tears of anger and swells of pride all through this book, because i can relate to much of it. it is comforting to know that one is not alone in the insanity of other peoples life choices and there is so much help out there for people going through things similar to this. keep staying strong, because in the end, you win. [...]" - Morgan (Amazon)
- "[...] This book is not a fancy, feel good, happy ending memoir. It's a tough read in large part because Terri writes exactly what she feels. You won't find carefully crafted chapters built with sophisticated sentences and paragraphs in this account of a time that must have been truly devastating for the author. [...]
Terri Louise writes with honesty and emotion. She is just as open about her own mistakes and failings as she is about anyone else's and when she could have ended up sounding (justifiably) resentful, she didn't.
Give this a whirl - you won't be disappointed and you will be inspired to not give up." - Kindle Book Review (Amazon)
