What to expect
When Emma Carey was twenty, she fell from 14,000 feet and survived. In The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, Emma tells us the inspirational story of how, through one of her greatest tragedies, she found her truest self. From waking up in hospital a paraplegic to learning how to use her legs again, through the six-year-long court case and now being finally free to make the most of her life, Emma teaches us the importance of courage and resilience. This heartfelt book is more than a memoir, it's a call to action that reminds us not to take our lives and abilities for granted but to live every day like it could be our last.
