Non-Fiction Memoir | Inspirational
On April 15, 2013, Rebekah Gregory and her five-year-old son
waited at the finish line of the Boston Marathon to support
a friend who was running. When the blasts of terrorists'
homemade bombs packed with nails and screws went off three
feet away, Rebekah's legs took the brunt of the blast,
protecting her son from certain death. Eighteen surgeries
and sixty-five procedures later, her left leg was amputated. Despite the extraordinary trauma she underwent and the
nightmares she continues to have, Rebekah sees it as just
another part of her personal journey, a journey that has led
her through abuse, mistakes, and pain and into the arms of
Jesus. This stirring memoir tells the story of her recovery,
including her triumphant return to Boston two years later to
run part of the race, and explores the peace we experience
when we learn to trust God with every part of our lives--the
good, the bad, and even the terrifying. Readers will be moved by the joyous way Rebekah is
determined to live her life, seeing every obstacle as part
of how God forms us into the people we are meant to be.
Readers will also find comfort in the message that it's not
what they can or can't do that makes the difference, but
rather what God, in his mercy, does through them despite it
all. Life is hard, but with God all things are possible.
