<p>Journey with Ali as she travels East to India and Nepal, in her adventures of sobriety as she stumbles out of darkness and tries to find her light. This is not just her story, but the story of the strength that develops first within oneself, and then with others as we link arms to overcome addiction and trauma. Jeanne Ferran states: "Your story is universal not just for alcoholics in recovery but for anyone who has to be honest with themselves and face what destroys them. I love how you take us with you on your journey of discovery and how you weave these stories together in a tapestry of your experience, your goodness and your journey. I felt like I was holding my breath for a couple of hours. You are my new favorite writer.I am so impressed by your gratitude. You are inspiring " Matt V. writes: " I appreciate your honesty imagery and anecdotes. It all rings very true in its unique way. I especially like the allusion to drinking and drugging as "taking out a second mortgage on your joy." Harry Goodheart writes: "Ali Webster writes straight from the heart and cuts to the quick. While spiritual transformation is an ancient theme, it is some of the most difficult writing to undertake and she does so with honesty, clarity and an infectious dose of hope for us all, vital for whatever walls we might have hit on our own personal paths."</p>

<p>We’ve all heard that “life can change in an instant.” It often takes much longer than that instant to appreciate how much life has actually changed and learn how to live after it does. Things happen fast and there is an awful lot to learn when that instant comes. This is a story of love, hope, hard work, and healing after our life-changing instant, when Paula suffered a “severe, diffuse traumatic brain injury” after falling off of a horse at a full gallop. Her doctors said that most people would not have survived the accident. Thankfully, Paula is not “most people.” She couldn't move her right side or talk much for the first year after the injury. She fought hard and was an inspiration to everyone who came in contact with her. By all accounts, her recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. We hope that this story about Paula’s journey to SURVIVE the accident, our joint DRIVE to recover as much as possible, and our efforts to THRIVE in our “new normal” will help others who are in the middle of, or have had similar life-changing experiences. It’s the book I wish I had been able to read while sitting in the ICU Waiting Room for more than 3 weeks, hoping for her to survive and then waiting for her to wake up again so we could get on with the recovery. This book is dedicated to the thousands of individuals who have, or will, face the tragedy of suffering a severe brain injury, to their families and friends, and to the countless medical providers, therapists, and caregivers who try to help them survive, drive, and thrive.</p>
