Description
She wanted to die. God had other plans.
Overwhelmed by
wave after wave of emotional trauma, Kristen Anderson no longer wanted
to live. One January night, determined to end her pain once and for all,
the seventeen-year-old lay across train tracks not far from her home
and waited to die.
Instead of peace, she found herself immersed in a whole new nightmare.
Before
the engineer could bring the train to a stop, thirty-three freight cars
passed over her at fifty-five miles per hour. After the train stopped
and Kristen realized she was still alive, she looked around—and saw her
legs ten feet away.
Surviving her suicide attempt but losing
her legs launched Kristen into an even deeper battle with depression and
suicidal thoughts, as well as unrelenting physical pain—all from the
seat of a wheelchair. But in the midst of her darkest days, Kristen
discovered the way to real life and a purpose for living.
For
anyone struggling to find the strength to go on, the message of this
heart-wrenching yet hope-building book is a clear and extraordinary
reminder that even when we give up on life, God doesn’t give up on us.
