Book Overview
From a Glasgow Coma Score of 5 and "death-like state" to reclaiming life through grit, humour, and unbreakable community.
As Watling writes, "My accident defined who I am now... I will not waste the second chance that I have been given." Discover why miracles do happen, and what Philip is up to now, in this uplifting, unputdownable read.
On December 9, 1994, Philip Watling's life was irrevocably changed when a "simple" walk to work ended in a horrific collision with a car and a bus. What follows is a miraculous tale of resurrection, fueled by the rapid intervention of London's Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), which airlifted him to the Royal London Hospital within the critical "golden hour," saving his life against all odds.
Blending poignant reflections on life's fragility with laugh-out-loud anecdotes from his rehabilitation, this book stands apart for its focus on finding hope and humour in the darkest circumstances.
Perfect for fans of memoirs like "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" or "Brain on Fire," "Flight of a Lifetime: Miracles Do Happen" is an inspiring autobiography that will make the audience laugh, cry, and reconsider what's possible.
