There on that helicopter, somewhere over Switzerland on a Sunday in June, came the first tiny whisper. A voice that would carry me for years to come. ‘I’m going to be okay. There’s still joy here.’ When Emma Carey was twenty, she fell from 14,000 feet and survived. In The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, Emma tells us the inspirational story of how, through one of her greatest tragedies, she found her truest self. From waking up in hospital a paraplegic to learning how to use her legs again, through the six-year-long court case and now being finally free to make the most of her life, Emma teaches us the importance of courage and resilience. This heartfelt book is more than a memoir, it’s a call to action that reminds us not to take our lives and abilities for granted but to live every day like it could be our last. ‘Emma Carey is a powerhouse. This book will change a lot of perceptions about what you think it’s like to live with disability.’ DYLAN ALCOTTZum Buch
“[Suleyman’s] narration brings a palpably chilling authority to a story she shouldn’t have to tell.” — Vulture A devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny. In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that the man she’d loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many others. In this spellbinding memoir, Suleyman exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite—and in spite of—him. With radiant prose and incisive observation, Suleyman questions society’s complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts. A soul-baring story, brilliant cultural critique, and celebration of the healing power of sisterhood, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.Zum Buch
