A beautiful, successful and privileged seventeen-year-old,
Carlana Stone Lawson had it all: she was a gymnast,
cheerleader and president of her class. In a moment of bad
judgment, she got into a car with some friends in Dallas,
Texas, after a night of drinking. A terrible accident
occurred, and everyone walked away unscathed except for
Carlana, who never walked again.
This is Carlana's story of how she dealt with and overcame
adversity. In the telling of it, she also shows how
adversity can be successfully conquered in many areas,
including divorce, loss of job and livelihood, survival of
abuse, losing a loved one, devastating midlife crisis and
battling breast cancer.
Today, Carlana, though wheelchair-bound, skydives, skis, and
at thirty-six, has married the man of her dreams. This book
will make you weep, laugh and, above all, inspire you.
