    About this audiobook

    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 ALCOTT

      What a beautifully written (& performed) book! And what a story!! Emma’s attitude to what life has dealt her is uplifting, moving and … a word she thinks is overused, but apt in this case … inspiring!!
      I will be recommending this book to as many people as possible!!
    • 4/5
      Great story, and great perspective as someone who had their own life turned upside down by a series of unfortunate events leaving me near death. Emma made me feel less alone as there was a lot to identify with and a lot to learn from. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but I am very happy I "read" this book. I would definitely read it if you have ever suffered traumatic life threatening and life altering events

      This book was incredible! Listened to it all in one day and couldn’t stop. Also been thinking about it since I finished. It’s one of those stories that just stick with you. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and a small piece of your life with us Emma.
