Crossroads

My Story of Tragedy and Resilience as a Humboldt Bronco

De: Kaleb Dahlgren

Narrado por: Adam Verner

An inspiring story of hope and resiliency

On April 6, 2018, sixteen people died and thirteen others were injured after a bus taking the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a transport truck in a rural intersection. The tragedy moved millions of people to leave hockey sticks by their front door to show sympathy and support for the Broncos. People from more than eighty countries pledged millions of dollars to families whose relatives had been directly involved in the accident.

Crossroads is the story of Kaleb Dahlgren, a young man who survived the bus crash and faced life after the tragedy with resiliency and positivity. In this chronicle of his time with the Broncos and the loving community of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Dahlgren takes a hard look at his experience of unprecedented loss, but also revels in the overwhelming response and outpouring of love from across Canada and around the world. But this book also goes much deeper, revealing the adversity Dahlgren faced long before his time in Humboldt and his inspiring journey since the accident.

From a childhood spent learning to live with type 1 diabetes to his remarkable recovery from severe brain trauma that astounded medical professionals, Dahlgren documents a life of perseverance, gratitude and hope in the wake of enormous obstacles and life-altering tragedy.

Just an over all fantastic listen. Great story about a truly horrible time.
Very quick read

Sad but uplifting

Out of tragedy often rises hope and something more..Kaleb shares his hopes as a young hockey player, making this hockey mom realize this could have happened to anyone. At the time, it hit home but this adds to the story. This is a story of perseverance, of holding memories dear and yet, of the need to move on while living in memory of others....very well done and the narration is at a good pace with just emotion emotion.... well worth the time...
