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.

A positive attitude conquers every negative hurdle.

A very precious and heartfelt story about how your mindset affects the direction of your life. No matter what life throws at you, it’s your choice to be happy..or not

incredible story

The author and narator tells of her amazing recovery and difficulties though some of the details seem to be missing. At times I round her tone a bit monotonous. In general an inspirational book worth your time.

Very inspiring!!

Great story. Best account I’ve read of overcoming a huge health obstacle. Makes you hate insurance companies

extremely well written

she brought you along on her journey through her life. I loved her attitude as she took it all in stride wth optimism

Of course it’s a good story

A true story of survival. The style that she chose to tell the story is what keeps you locked in. It was as if she was talking directly to you. This story proved that the actual accident is not the only thing that you have to learn to recover from. Her accent is one of the most unique accents I’ve ever heard in my life.
