Morgan, Sophie L.

Driving forwards : a journey of resilience and empowerment after life-changing injury / Sophie L. Morgan. - London : Sphere, 2023. - Paperback illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cm.

Originally published: 2022.

On the precipice of starting her adult life, aged eighteen, Sophie, a rebellious and incorrigible wild child, crashed her car and was instantly paralysed from the chest down. Rushed to hospital, everything she had dreamed for her life was instantly forgotten and her journey to rediscover herself and build a different life began. But being told she would never walk again would come to be the least of her concerns. 'Driving Forwards' is a remarkable and powerful memoir, detailing Sophie's life-changing injury, her recovery, and her life since. Strikingly honest, her story is unusual and yet relatable, inspiring us to see how adversity can be channelled into opportunity and how ongoing resilience can ultimately lead to empowerment.
