Book excerpt: Out of the carnage of World War II comes an unforgettable tale about defying the odds and finding hope in the most harrowing of circumstances. Wheels of Courage tells the stirring story of the soldiers, sailors, and marines who were paralyzed on the battlefield during World War II-at the Battle of the Bulge, on the island of Okinawa, inside Japanese POW camps-only to return to a world unused to dealing with their traumatic injuries. Doctors considered paraplegics to be "dead-enders" and "no-hopers," with the life expectancy of about a year. Societal stigma was so ingrained that playing sports was considered out-of-bounds for so-called "crippled bodies." But servicemen like Johnny Winterholler, a standout athlete from Wyoming before he was captured on Corregidor, and Stan Den Adel, shot in the back just days before the peace treaty ending the war was signed, refused to waste away in their hospital beds. Thanks to medical advances and the dedication of innovative physicians and rehabilitation coaches, they asserted their right to a life without limitations. The paralyzed veterans formed the first wheelchair basketball teams, and soon the Rolling Devils, the Flying Wheels, and the Gizz Kids were barnstorming the nation and filling arenas with cheering, incredulous fans. The wounded-warriors-turned-playmakers were joined by their British counterparts, led by the indomitable Dr. Ludwig Guttmann. Together, they triggered the birth of the Paralympic Games and opened the gymnasium doors to those with other disabilities, including survivors of the polio epidemic in the 1950s.Much as Jackie Robinson's breakthrough into the major leagues served as an opening salvo in the civil rights movement, these athletes helped jump-start a global movement about human adaptability. Their unlikely heroics on the court showed the world that it is ability, not disability, that matters most. Off the court, their push for equal rights led to dramatic changes in how civilized societies treat individuals with disabilities: from kneeling buses and curb cutouts to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Their saga is yet another lasting legacy of the Greatest Generation, one that has been long overlooked. Drawing on the veterans' own words, stories, and memories about this pioneering era, David Davis has crafted a narrative of survival, resilience, and triumph for sports fans and athletes, history buffs and military veterans, and people with and without disabilities.

Book excerpt: This is the riveting and inspirational true story of Heather Grossman, made a quadriplegic by her ex-husband who hired hit men to murder her--but who miraculously survived and battled back for justice, and who has become a vibrant national voice for victims of domestic violence.Written in her own unique voice, with remarkable clarity and recall of events, people and detail, Heather Grossman's harrowing memoir, PARALYZED IN PARADISE, is a testament to the power of the human will and spirit unlike anything else you will ever read. It is funny, shocking, horrible, compelling, inspiring, and.hard to put down. Now living a happy and productive life with her family--her parents and her children-- Heather has been a tireless speaker and consultant on domestic violence issues and a mentor and resource for many who suffer with catastrophic spinal injuries. She has produced a book of truth, real-life horror, and redemptive faith. The national news media has covered the dramatic incident of her near murder at the behest of a former husband: including an episode of CBS's 48 Hours/Mystery: The Puppet Master and the Oprah Winfrey Network's The Devil You Know: Evil in First Class. Focusing to a great degree on the aftermath of the brutal incident and the ex-husband's attempt to escape justice, the popular documentaries did not fully portray the intimate details of Heather's early and later experiences through two marriages and a life that was so nearly cut off when she was still a young woman with such a bright future ahead of her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller! Just weeks before her wedding, four of Rachelle Friedman's friends threw her a bachelorette party. At the end of a perfect evening of dancing and celebration, they decided to take a moonlight swim. One of her friends playfully pushed her into the water . . . two feet too far from the deep end. That chilling moment changed their lives forever. Rachelle broke her neck and was paralyzed from the chest down. She would never walk again. The Promise is a powerful memoir of resilience, love, and loyalty. On the night of the accident, the five girls made an unspoken agreement to never reveal the name of the friend who had pushed Rachelle into the pool—and their bond has remained unbroken. As Rachelle undergoes a physical battle for her life, her friend struggles emotionally to prevent one moment in time from defining her forever. It's the story of true integrity; it's also about finding the incredible strength inside each of us we never knew we had. Also a love story, The Promise chronicles Rachelle and Chris's relationship, their struggle with her paralysis and rehab, the physical challenges of intimacy, and ultimately, their fairy-tale wedding.

There was nothing. Or at least I didn’t find anything. I wrote these letters to my first psychiatrist so she could see inside my head. To see all the fear, confusion, hurt, and multitudes of thoughts that hounded me. When I read these letters to my wife, I actually cried. I completed this book with a prayer that it will help people who suffer to understand what they are going through and see that there is hope. Also, so people can understand what their loved one is going though. Prayerfully, this book will help doctors and counselors. This is very powerful! Not only will you see all the illness but a lot of hope and healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Reeve has mastered the art of turning the impossible into the inevitable. In these candid reflections, Reeve shows that we are all capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships. He teaches us that for able-bodied people, paralysis is a choice—a choice to live with self-doubt and a fear of taking risks—and that it is not an acceptable one. Reeve knows from experience that the work of conquering inner space is hard and that it requires some suffering—after all, nothing worth having is easy to attain. He asks challenging questions about why it seems so difficult—if not impossible—for us to work together as a society. Nothing Is Impossible reminds us that life is not to be taken for granted but to be lived fully with zeal, curiosity, and gratitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -It's just not the right time!-I need to get the right job before I can settle down.-I am not enough. -It's all your fault!-I am so tired of failing and making mistakes!These expressions of frustration are often used by those who struggle with the feeling of unfulfillment and goal anxiety. Admittedly, these attitudes make an arduous journey even more challenging and have cost this world many cures, vaccines, books, movies, and life-changing moments. Time is going, and life is happening. It only makes sense that we live it while we have the chance to do so. There is no such thing as the perfect moment, so it is pertinent that we start now.This book is a personal note to people who may be stuck in an emotional rut, unable to act because of various fears and the false flag that the perfect moment is yet to arrive. I will share my journey and lessons learnt along the way to becoming, being, and starting.I hope that before you finish reading this book, you, too, will have started your journey away from perfectionism while pressing towards your personal best.

Download or read book Bosnia's Paralysed Peace written by Christopher Bennett and published by C Hurst & Company Publishers Limited. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two decades after the Dayton Peace Agreement came into force, Bosnia is not at war. However, the absence of war is not peace. Bosnia has failed to move on from conflict. Political processes are deadlocked. The country is in a state of political, social and economic paralysis. As the international community has downgraded its presence, conditions have deteriorated, irredentist agendas have resurfaced and the outlook is increasingly negative. War remains a risk because of myriad unresolved issues, zero-sum politics and incompatible positions among rival ethno-national elites.In the face of paralysis, international officials repeat the mantra that there is no alternative to Bosnia's European path and urge the country's leaders to see reason, to temper their rhetoric and to carry out internationally approved reforms -- to no avail. Despite international reluctance to recognise failure, the day will come when it is impossible to ignore the gravity of the situation. When that day arrives, the international community will have to address the shortcomings of the peace process. This, in turn, will involve opening up the Dayton settlement. Christopher Bennett presents a cautionary political history of Bosnia's disintegration, war and peace process. And he concludes by proposing a paradigm shift aimed at building ethno-national security and making the peace settlement self-sustaining.
