Accidental Journey is both a memoir and a handbook for anyone who has survived trauma of any kind, for their families and friends, as well as for EMTs, doctors, nurses, and care-givers of all kinds. This book is for anyone who must, for any reason, take on the impossible. Not only is Gayle's story a source of emotional support, it will lead the reader through the ins and outs of basic topics such as insurance, wheelchairs, pain, and post-traumatic-stress.
