Flying on the Inside

A Memoir of Trauma and Recovery

By: Rachel Gotto

Narrated by: Rachel Gotto

The remarkable true story of one woman’s journey back from the brink. Newly widowed and faced with a deadly brain tumour, she was given two years to live. She wanted more...

When her six-year-old daughter found her collapsed on the kitchen floor, Rachel had no idea how much her life was about to change.

A brain scan revealed a dark shadowy mass, a huge abnormal growth of tissue that, whilst benign, was still growing and would surely kill her. It was too big to operate on. It needed to be "managed", and Rachel had, at best, two years to live.

Refusing to accept the bleak prognosis, Rachel was determined to stay alive. She had already lost far too much. She had already watched her brother succumb, at only twenty-eight, to cancer. She had already lost her beloved husband in a terrible scuba diving accident when she was six months pregnant. So she did the only thing she knew how to do. She fought for her life.

This gripping and inspiring memoir about overcoming tragedy and trauma charts one tenacious woman’s incredible fight to find light in the darkest of journeys. It is a life-affirming tale of positivity and hope in the face of the most difficult of human experiences.

Deeply touching

I downloaded the audible version. There should be a longer pause when the author comes back and forth in time, I often got confused when the narration jumped in time without warning. Otherwise, I enjoyed Rachel Gotto's narration of her traumatic experience, journey through recovery and her perspective on the human psyche.

Loved this book.

Hear about her over coming her addiction to prescriptions medications was showing her determination

Very Interesting Memoir

This memoir was very sad, but also eye opening. I would recommend this book if younor anyone in your life is interested in recovering from a brain injury or interested in hypnotherapy. Rachel is a strong women and her determination to overcome many tragedies. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story.

A BEAUTIFUL HEALING JOURNEY

Having lived with my husband's chronic, life threatening cancer for six (long) years, I'm constantly amazed at the MIND'S power to heal.

Open and honest ordeal

Hearing her raw truth of all she went through and overcame is heartwarming and a truth of life and how we need to be be grateful for each day we have!
