Overview

Noelle McNeil was thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition on August 2, 2005. At the time of the accident, Noelle was a twenty year old college sophomore, having the time of her life, attending James Madison University, dating a handsome young man, and looking forward to a bright future. Noelle's life was forever altered by this event. She was rendered unconscious, the victim of a severe traumatic brain injury. She clung precariously to life for 14 days in an intensive care unit. When Noelle did emerge from the coma, she was totally debilitated, confused, and barely able to speak, unable to stand, walk or even swallow. She had to have a feeding tube to receive nourishment. Her prognosis was grim. Noelle was not expected to be able to walk unaided or function independently for the rest of her life. Ninety seven percent of people who sustain this type of injury do not make any appreciable recovery; they are often forced to remain in a hospital type setting for the rest of their lives. Thousands of people prayed for Noelle to recover, their prayers were heard.

When she did start to speak, Noelle told her family that during her ordeal, she had gone to heaven, and had an encounter with a spiritual being who told her she could return to earth, and that she would recover, but it would take a long time. Noelle thus began her incredible journey, the journey to regain her self. Noelle remained in a rehab hospital for 5 months, and had to work incredibly hard to redevelop her cognitive abilities, and basic skills, like walking. Noelle made extraordinary progress, despite her devastating injuries. Noelle had to pray for strength to overcome the depression that engulfed her once she became aware of the extent of her injury, and again found this spiritual need met.

This is her story, a story of tragedy, of hope, and the power of love. Miracles do happen, Noelle McNeil is living proof.

    INSPIRATIONAL AND UPLIFTING

    I read a story about this amazing young woman in our local paper. I was so moved, that I ordered her book. Noelle's journey is spiritual and inspiring. Her story is of young woman's determination to be a productive and independent human being in spite of a severe brain injury. When doctors gave her family a poor prognosis, they rally behind her and prove that with determination and prayer, you can beat the odds. Miss Mcneil is an inspiration to all especially those who have met with a life changing tragedy. I recommend that everyone read this. It confirms your beliefs and makes you examine your priorities.
    From the first page, I new it was not a coincidence that I read the article and then bought the book. (My nephew had an accident recently, leaving him with a severe brain injury) Noelle McNeill gave me hope and courage. Her story left an imprint on my heart.
    I am certain Heaven Exists!

    An inspiring story of a brave womans recovery from a devastating brain injury.

    This book tells the story of how Noelle puts her heart and soul into her recovery. It accurately depicts the slow and painful process of healing and relearning, the highs and lows, and the power of family, hope and prayers. Anyone who knows someone who has suffered a brain injury will understand that Noelle's recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. Most importantly, that miracle was created by her unyielding desire to get better, her hope and that of her family and some help from above.
    The book was a joy to read.

    Inspirational

    Noelle is a very brave and courageous young lady. She inspires us to believe that we are never alone as long as we have faith and believe in the impossible. She has such determination and I believe after reading her book she will continue to make progress.

    She has been through so much, but yet she has taken the time to share her story so she can be an inpiration to us all.

    This is a story of the power of miracles.

    Perfect! In essence, the author has been there.

    I found this book to be forthcoming, inspirational and courageous on the authors part. Noelle captured her day to day struggles with determination, faith, strength and support from her family and friends. Anyone who is feeling despair whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally should read this book. Maybe....you'll think twice and truly realize how lucky you are!!

    A Wonderful Read

    This is one of the hidden literary treasures that come across only once in a while. I can honestly say that after reading this book I felt a new sense of passion, pride and purpose. Our lives can turn on a dime and Noelle living proof of that. What really inspired me was the authors sense of commitment and determination - so rare in most of us. Reading this book made me realize that life is so fragile and how being wrapped around money, power and greed are so inconsequential in the big picture. This book had a profound effect on me personally - it has given me a fresh approach to what is truly important in life. Noelle writes with such passion that I could not put the book down and for the first time in my life, read it from cover to cover in one 12 hours session. I am sure you will feel the same way and when you're finished, you too will have a renewed sense of what life is all about. Bravo Noelle for your most compassionate accomplishment.

    Inspirational, Enlightening, Awesome

    For me, Noelle's story was so inspirational. It took me back to all those times in my life when I felt like life was hard and unfair. It made me realize how easy, even my harder days were.

    Noelle's book was also enlightening. We have little control over life and what life brings our way. It is how we deal with our struggles that makes us who we are. It made me think about all the blessings many of us have in our lives and how much we all take for granted from day to day.

    Awesome. It was just such an awesome story. Noelle was honest about all of her struggles before and after her accident. Her strength, drive, will, determination, and hard work carried her through. She's a fighter... a survivor!!

    Inspirational

    Amazing! This book puts reality in perspective in many different ways. A young girl's determination to overcome unfortunate circumstances not only made her stronger, but makes anyone who reads the book more keenly aware of how difficult life can be - more so for some than others - and how easy it is to take for granted everyday aspects of life. You have to read it.....
