À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Rushed to hospital after a terrible car crash the night she received her A-level results, Sophie Morgan found that everything she had imagined for her future was lost and her journey to rediscover herself and build a different life had just begun.

Over the next eighteen years, as she strived to come to terms with the change in her body she has had to overcome her own and other people's perceptions of disability and explore the limits of her abilities. All this while searching for love, acceptance, meaning, identity and purpose.

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 yet relatable, inspiring us to see how adversity can be channelled into opportunity and how ongoing resilience can ultimately lead to empowerment.
