In December 2011, a story hit the news
media about a young woman, who was seriously injured in a plane propeller
accident. This book tells Lauren’s story
not only from her perspective but also from her parents and her sister,
Brittany. I found myself engrossed in Lauren’s
story from page one. Lauren tells her
story with honesty and courage as if she is only speaking with you. Lauren not only speaks about the accident and
her feelings but she also gives us a look into her past and shares her belief
and faith in the Lord that has given her the strength and perseverance to make
it through various events in her life.
Other chapters within the book are also
written from the perspective of her sister, Brittany and her parents, Cheryl
and Jeff Scruggs. Lauren’s parents and
sister write of their own worries and struggles with the accident and Lauren’s
recovery, however what really shines through is this family’s faith and strength
in the midst of this life-changing event.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this
book. It is well-written featuring such honesty and really showcases a message
of hope and encouragement that everyone needs to read. Lauren’s story is truly inspiring and is such
a powerful illustration about how God uses us to positively impact others.
