From the acclaimed author of The Times Magazine's Spinal Column comes a profoundly moving, darkly funny, and inspirational memoir. "It's beautiful—full of love and light—and an exploration into not only how, but why we survive, despite everything," Christie Watson, author of The Language of Kindness, writes of this remarkable book.

On Good Friday, 2010, Melanie Reid fell from her horse, breaking her neck and fracturing her lower back. At the age of 52, she was paralyzed from the top of her chest down and spent almost a full year in the hospital, determinedly working towards gaining as much movement in her limbs as possible and learning to navigate a world that had previously been invisible to her.

As a journalist, Melanie had always turned to words, and now, on a spinal ward populated by an extraordinary array of individuals who were similarly at sea, she decided that writing would be her lifeline. The World I Fell Out Of is an account of that year and the ones that followed. It is the untold "back story behind Melanie's award-winning 'Spinal Column' in The Times Magazine and a testament to "the art of getting on with it."

Unflinchingly honest and beautifully observed, this is a wise and inspiring memoir about risk and dilemma, heroism, and love. Above all, The World I Fell Out Of is a reminder that at any moment, the life we know can be turned upside down—and a plea to start appreciating what we have while we have it.
