I am reviewing a copy of The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over through Girl Friday Productions, Misfit Blue and Netgalley:
In this book you will be reminded to find beauty and power in your cracks. And it will remind you that breaking doesn't mean broken.
Nasheem was in a pedestrian sidewalk in a quiet tree lined street. In that crosswalk she is hit then ran over three times. As onlookers yell for the driver to stop as she hears her fate in her husband’s screams. Is he is watching the mother of his children die?
Miraculously Nasheem survives, yet she is no longer the person she worked so hard to be. Her “cracks”—the changes to her body and mind—initially feel impossible to accept. In learning to embrace this new, unrecognizable self, Naseem decides to celebrate the day she almost lost her life as the day she discovered her true strength her Unbreakable Day.
The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over is a unique memoir equal parts heart wrenching and inspiring, Naseem lays bare the reality of personal trauma and how we each have the power to reimagine our lives and find beauty in both being broken and unbreakable.
I give The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over five out of five stars!
