27 Steps to Freedom: What Learning to Walk Again Taught me About Success in Business & Life

by Wendy J McClelland, Cate Pedersen (Editor), Jessica Weismiller Babuik (Photographer)

Overview

SYNOPSIS - When you hear a doctor say "If you don't have massive blood transfusions now, you'll die before morning" you know you're in trouble. These words began a difficult journey as doctors tried to save my life after a massive bacterial infection invaded my body.

It had eaten away portions of the lower discs and vertebrae in my spine, destroyed a kidney and gave me brain damage. Months in hospital, many more in a full body cast (from neck to knee) and two years to learn to walk again, speak more than three words in a sentence and get brain function back - plus rebuild a life with my young children.

But this isn't a sad story. I am taking you on a raw, authentic and emotional trek through losing my children, nearly dying, losing my home and having to regain skills and rebuild a life for my family.

This is a story of hope and inspiration. I have taken each negative and turned it into a life lesson that anyone can apply every day to live a fuller life. My wish is that this book gives you hope!
