What an amazing woman!

Gill's story is one of the most heart wrenching tales to tell. One could go on thinking about all the 'what ifs' of that day, but Gill's strength of spirit & courage to carry on in the face of so much adversity is a true testament to her strong character. The stories & photos of 'life before 7/7' paint such a fascinating picture of a truly extraordinary lady, who so bloody didn't deserve what happened to her! If only there were more people in the world like Gill who could make so much good come out of such a horrific situation.

Inspiration and Courage Without Bounds!

Somebody recommended that I read this book and they weren't wrong. I read the whole book with a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Gill's story is one of tremendous courage and determination. Her vivid language and complete honesty with the reader leaves us in no doubt as to what her and her family and friends experienced in the days, weeks and months after. She is truly an amazing woman, both courageous and inspriational. I can only wish her and her family the very best for the future - she deserves it more than anyone else I know. An amazing book by an amazing woman!

A Truly inspirational book from a very courageous lady.

I have just finished this book - I read it in one day - I never put it down until I had finished it - I couldn't do so. I have never read a book which has moved me so much and I read it through tears. When I read the part where Gill was in the dark with her horrific injuries I felt as if I was actually there with her and living through it with her. Gill, you are a truly wonderful person and I cannot even try and understand what you endured but I am so glad you wrote this book and shared it with us.
All the very best for the future if you are reading this, Gill. If I could have given this book 10 stars even that wouldn't have been enough.

A book of inner beauty
|
|
As I was flicking through the channels on TV,Gill Hicks was interviewd about her book,she was so beautiful,not the movie star kind of beauty,but an inner,spiritual,peaceful beauty.Her book is amazing,so genuine,so moving and inspirational.For someone who in a minute lost so much,amidst the help she got to recover there was no Counselling,PTSD work..etc,she just got through it drawing on her inner strength,the Grace of God,and all the love that she brought about in people around her.Another example of how in the face of adversity,we humans collectively unite,and one man's pain becomes everyone's pain.This book will touch everyone's heart and help us put everyday matters into perspective. Just as Jill's life will never be the same after 7/11,our lives will never be the same after reading her book.
