LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026
'This book is extraordinary' MIRANDA HART
'Life-affirming' VIV GROSKOP
'Astonishing, important, and truly radical ' POLLY MORLAND
At the age of twenty-two, Grace Spence Green's spine was broken and her life changed course. One day, she was in hospital supporting patients, the next she was one herself.
Over the years that followed, words like healing and recovery took on new meanings. Some emotions, like sadness and self-pity, dimmed. Others were heightened, and Grace learned to embrace them all: anger at a world ill-equipped to accommodate her new body; passion to demand change; and joy found in community, nature and wild swimming.
Through her powerful story, Grace shows how we can come back to ourselves after trauma and fight for change while joyously embracing life exactly as we are.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. What do you do when the life you planned is dramatically interrupted? What does it mean to heal, when the world won't stop asking what's wrong with you? At the age of 22, Grace Spence Green's spine was broken at the fourth thoracic vertebra. One day, she was in hospital supporting patients, the next she was fighting for her own life. To Exist As I Am chronicles her journey from idealistic medical student to spinal-injury patient, to doctor and disabled activist, finding her way back to the wards, and finding her tribe along the way. This life-affirming memoir reframes disability and questions the value we place on independence, in favour of interdependence; the rich networks of care that bind us together, and what love truly looks like. Rather than yearning to be 'fixed', Grace shows how we might fight for change while embracing a joyous life - exactly as we are. A young doctor's life-affirming story of near-death, recovery and radical acceptance Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
