Opis

Once upon a time, a young Ukrainian-Canadian named Laurie grew up in poverty in 1930's Montreal. She was smart and beautiful, and had a mother who believed Cinderella tales do come true.

At first Laurie's life seemed destined to be carefree and pointed to a happy ending. She forged a successful career as a model, married the love of her life, and had four children. Then a car crash changed everything.

In it Laurie suffered extensive back injuries requiring major spinal reconstruction surgeries throughout her life. After a long period of painful rehabilitation she relearned how to walk again. Now a multi-tasking mother, she helped sustain the the family during a financial crisis when her husband suffered a severe depression.

With difficulty she eventually came to terms with the trauma she had suffered and embarked on an intellectual journey leading to a Ph.D. in philosophy of religion. The life that followed Laurie's accident has been entirely unexpected in its twists and turns right down to the present time. In "Surviving Life: A Memoir," Laurie McRobert shares how the crash changed her priorities, and how those changes helped her overcome future obstacles.
