About this listen

One of life's biggest cliches becomes a horrific reality when Douglas Segal's wife and young daughter are hit head-on by a Los Angeles city bus. Miraculously, his daughter was unharmed, but his wife faced a series of life-threatening injuries, including the same one that famously left Christopher Reeve paralyzed.

Following the accident, Segal began sending regular email updates to their circle of friends and family - a list that continued to grow as others heard of the event and were moved by the many emotional and spiritual issues it raised. Segal's compelling memoir is an intimate and honest chronicle built around these email updates and is a profound example of how people show up for one another in times of crisis.

Alternatingly harrowing, humorous, heartbreaking, and hopeful, this is an uplifting tribute to love, determination, and how the compassion of community holds the power to heal, serving as an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit when faced with pain and adversity.

Good narrator. Good story. Very detailed but also uplifting. The trauma they went through was quite shocking but positive attitude really helped them. Enjoyed this and although it was quite difficult to listen to their struggles they’re an inspiration

Heartfelt and traumatic
