by Julia Fox
First published 2017
Julia starts over after everything falls apart. Car accidents have left her disabled, her brain injured, her mind fractured by trauma. The abuse she endured before the crashes still haunts her daily existence. Simple tasks become monumental challenges as she navigates a world that no longer makes sense the way it used to. Her memory fails her at crucial moments. Her body betrays her when she needs it most. Yet Julia refuses to surrender to the darkness that threatens to consume her completely. She discovers that healing happens in small steps, not giant leaps. Each day brings new obstacles, but also unexpected moments of clarity and hope. Through setbacks and small victories, Julia learns that surviving is not the same as truly living. She must choose between remaining trapped by her past or fighting her way toward something resembling happiness again.
