Summary

The remarkable true story of one woman’s journey back from the brink. Newly widowed and faced with a deadly brain tumour, she was given two years to live. She wanted more...

When her six-year-old daughter found her collapsed on the kitchen floor, Rachel had no idea how much her life was about to change.

A brain scan revealed a dark shadowy mass, a huge abnormal growth of tissue that, whilst benign, was still growing and would surely kill her. It was too big to operate on. It needed to be "managed", and Rachel had, at best, two years to live.

Refusing to accept the bleak prognosis, Rachel was determined to stay alive. She had already lost far too much. She had already watched her brother succumb, at only twenty-eight, to cancer. She had already lost her beloved husband in a terrible scuba diving accident when she was six months pregnant. So she did the only thing she knew how to do. She fought for her life.

This gripping and inspiring memoir about overcoming tragedy and trauma charts one tenacious woman’s incredible fight to find light in the darkest of journeys. It is a life-affirming tale of positivity and hope in the face of the most difficult of human experiences.

Just how many traumatic events can one person suffer? l loved this book. Beautifully read by the author, it was searingly honest. I could recognise some of the dark thoughts that she had at times, all too well. Ultimately triumphant, I wish her well for the future.

A fascinating account

I listened to this in one sitting on one of those days when life just felt too much. It's one of those books that you can't wait to get to the next chapter. Listening to Rachel's story of recovery from so much trauma was so compelling and so inspiring, that it motivated me to take my own massive action. Honestly, this is the best book I've read in years. Better still, it was read to me by Rachel's dulcet tones. Highly, highly recommend it.

Powerful and Uplifting Story
