The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

De: Emma Carey

Narrado por: Emma Carey

An extraordinary true story of resilience, courage, hope and finding lightness after the heaviest of landings.

What if we could figure out a way to see beauty in every part of living—the world, its people and its lessons? To still be able to feel pain and sadness, but see it all as part of this wild ride we call life? We often tell ourselves we'll be grateful when we have that job, or get that car, or that outfit. But what if we could just change our mindsets to one of wonder, of appreciation, of awe in simply being?

For years, Emma Carey was a regular young adult who would wake up and go about their day on autopilot, someone who would look at a sunset and feel unaffected, someone who was living, but not really alive. That is, until something happened that enabled her to really see life for the gift it is. Emma was in a skydiving accident that made her a paraplegic. This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive. These are the beliefs and ideas that make her the happiest she's ever been.

While Emma did eventually learn how to walk again, her changed mindset is the thing she continues to be proudest of, and most grateful for. Emma's story is one that will capture your heart and heal your mind, as she guides us through what she has learned along the way. With a maturity and evenness beyond her years, as well as a down-to-earth approach to hope and possibility, Emma shows us how to live in the world when what we expected doesn't fit our reality. She shows us how to really look, and see beauty where it is.

A must read for any human.

Wow Emma. I’ve followed you on instagram for years, and this was an incredible listen. I cried so many times, smiled and laughed so many times, and felt your strength come through to me. So many life lessons I hope to take with me. Such a fabulous book. Thank you.

Amazing story

As someone with a newly acquired disability, I related to so many parts of this story. The writing and accounts of what happened are related so well, and there were so many non-cliche lessons throughout. I loved the audiobook and was sad to see it end.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book! Thank you Emma for your positive outlook on EVERYTHING. I will never take for granted ‘ the mundane’ that we are all so blessed with.

She is a remarkable woman

Her young life unfolds in such an awe inspiring way. I would highly recommend it.

incredible ans inspiring

Thanks for sharing your story with the world! It was so encouraging and challenging, I will be forever changed from hearing it.

Inexcusable Abuse

"Emma stayed strong throughout the humiliation of the insurance industry and the callousness of the legal profession. "

Above is a quote from another reviewer which should not be forgotten. Emma had no choice but to endure additional mental and physical abuse to prove over and over again, over five years, that, yes, she's paraplegic. Physicians knew this Day One.

I visited Dachau concentration camp as a 25 year old. The frigid air and the horror of the torture areas has never left me 50 years later.
Emma's story was just as appalling.

One of the best books I’ve ever read!

I have suffered great loss and have had to choose to keep going each day, always choosing joy. This resonated with me!
My joy and strength comes from Jesus Christ though not from myself. He is the same yesterday and today and sovereign so no matter what happens He is faithful and true!

Empowering

An amazing testament to truly being happy. This will stick with me in my heart and head.

Inspiring

Well written, orated and thoughtful. Dealing with many health issues, I found her candid story uplifting and touching. Thank you Emma 💚

Amazing
